O'Hare (surname)
Encyclopedia
O'Hare is a surname, which likely has roots in the older and less used surname O'Heare. The surname O'Heare is found on both sides of the Irish sea and may be either Irish or Scottish. In the original (Gaelic) the final 'e' would be pronounced and consequently the name can be equated and confused with O'Hara. In Scotland (Ayrshire originally) apparently uniformly the capital 'O' apostrophe has disappeared in modern usage. Persons with this surname are:
