Moloney is a Dalcassian sept belonging to Kiltanon near Tulla in East Clare, where they are extremely numerous, although they are equally prevalent in the neighbouring counties of Limerick and Tipperary. Muldowney itself, is found mainly in Ulster. O' Moloney and O' Muldowny were formerly used synonymously. The name was probably introduced to England by Irish famine immigrants in the mid 18th Century.

Thomas Muldwoney was christened at Carlow, County Carlow, Ireland on December 7th 1774. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Malachy O' Molony (was bishop of Kolmacduagh between), which was dated 1570 - 1610, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, known as "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603.

Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
