I think Shamrock is an Irish name.

Possible, but I've seen many Irish looking like him.

Never heard of the surname Shamrock. It sounds like some type of acquired name. Ken Shamrock got his name from his adopted father his birth surname is Kilpatrick which is Irish but I doubt he's of only Irish ancestry as he is from Macon, Georgia and his family has been long term in the US. His Irish link is a bit tenuous.


The Irishness of the trio is something that has always been questionable. It is widely held that Ken does hold Irish ancestry, owing both to his birth to the Kilpatrick family and indeed his adoption by Bob. The Kilpatrick family are believed to have been descendants of Scottish born Irish settlers. Meanwhile Bob’s family does in fact possess Irish heritage according to sources in Susanville but this cannot be traced.

So he is a multi-ethnic American.
