Subject: O'meaning...?

Hi,

I've been looking for some information on surnames starting with O'something, such as O'Brien. I know that these kind of family names are Irish, but cant find what the O' stands for... I suppose it means simply "Of" but I would really appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me and say "DUH..." or correct me if I'm wrong

Garcias so very mucho!!!

P.S. I would have posted this one on the "surname message board" but there's just not enough action over there...
