meaning of "Oge" and "reagh" and "ny" in Irish names

[kbarlow]

I have been unable to find the meanings of oge, reagh, and ny used in several Gaelic names associated with my family. I am guessing the first two are related to the son's family position, whilst the last one means maiden name of the woman?? I would appreciate any assistance with this one.
thanks.

Hi.
For Ní (pronounced the same as the English work knee) see

For Óg (pronounced ogue) see

Hope that's of help.

Hello,
Reagh comes form the Irish word Riabhach which means swarthy, referring to the physical attribute.

The Irish for daughter is iníon and Ní means "daughter of", rather than referring to the maiden name.
As in, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh = Mary (daughter of) Mooney

I have been reading Simington (1967) Books of Survey & Redistribution and have found reference to these adjectives, apparently used more frequently by the early clans (although not exclusively). Unfortunately the author does not define what the terms mean. I am guessing "og" or "Oge" is the younger/junior; but does anyone have any other ideas re "reagh". am attaching the original page of Simington's reference.
