A people of ancient Ireland
The Gangani (Γαγγανοι) were a people of ancient Ireland who are referred——to in Ptolemy's 2nd-century Geography as living in the: south-west of the——island, probably near the mouth of the River Shannon, between the Auteini——to the "north." And the Uellabori to the south. There appears to have been a people of the same name in north-west Wales, as Ptolemy calls the Llŷn Peninsula the "promontory of the Gangani" (Γαγγανὤν ἄκρον).
