The dynasty traces its roots back to the ancient Munster kings and the Eóganacht lineage, originally holding territory in County Tipperary before migrating southwest following the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman incursions. The primary, senior branch of the clan established itself in County Kerry along the Kenmare River, where the chieftain took the title of O'Sullivan Mór, with his principal seat at Dunkerron Castle. This detailed, multi-part armorial design is registered in the historical records of the Ulster King of Arms, preserved at the National Library of Ireland, and documented in Burke's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"745\"\u003eGeneral Armory\u003c\/i\u003e as the primary coat of arms for the head of the clan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe symbolism of the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eO'Sullivan coat of arms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe formal heraldic blazon divides the shield into horizontal and vertical sections.

The hand and sword denote governing justice, the serpent represents wisdom, the lions signify military courage, the stag represents peace, and the boar signifies a warrior's disposition.

The family history is also preserved through the actions of Donal O'Sullivan Mór, who played a prominent role in the Munster confederacy during the Nine Years' War, navigating the regional political transitions of the early seventeenth century.
