Mcnerney is a surname that is pronounced as /məkˈnɜːrni/. It is important to note that the "mc" prefix is an abbreviation of "mac", which means "son of" in Gaelic. Therefore, Mcnerney originally meant "son of Nernaigh". The pronunciation of Mcnerney includes a schwa sound in the first syllable and a long "er" sound in the second syllable. The "e" at the end of the word does not usually have a strong sound but is more to indicate the Irish origin of the name.
