The name Clooney (this is how George Clooney spells his name)(alternate spellings Cloony, Cluny, Cloney) came originally from Ireland:
Clooney
Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cluanaigh ‘descendant of Cluanach’ (see Cloney).
George's family emigrated from Ireland to Kentucky.
George Clooney's ancestors According to the 1880 American census, the great-great-grandfather of George Clooney, the actor, emigrated from Ireland and became a jeweller. His son Andrew became mayor of Maysville, Kentucky, and campaigned with the help of George’s singing aunts — Rosemary and Betty — who were radio stars. (source: Times Online)
