Carnes Family CrestThe Irish surname Carnes is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name  
Ó Céirín meaning ‘descendant of Céirín,” a personal name from a diminutive of ciarmeaning “dark, or black.” The literal translation was “ son of the dark haired one.”  The name is also anglicized as Kearns. The Carnes clan originated in the west of Ireland where the clan were in about the year 1420, in possession of the greater part of the present barony of Costello in County Mayo.
