O'Reilly, O'Shea, O'Bama?

O'Furniture.

So, in the old days it meant: Of the Bamas?

Grandson of Bama

It is hardly necessary to state that these prefixes denote descent, mac (son) indicating that the surname was formed from the personal names, or sometimes calling, of the father of the first man to bear that surname, while O names are derived from a grandfather or even earlier ancestor, o or ua being the Irish word for grandson, or more loosely male descendant.
