Spelling of surname[edit]

Shouldn't the surname be Ó Maolchonaire? That is the current form used in Irish, and T. F. O'Rahilly gives Flaithrí Ó Maolchonaire as the author in his edition of "Desiderius - Sgáthán an Chrábhaidh" (with an optional form Ó Maoilchonaire) Brian Ó Cuív gives Ó Maoil Chonaire for the family. In older forms of personal names with Mael, lenition was not usual (Maél Ciaráin for example), but in surnames it is now - or is "Ó Maolconaire" to represent an older form of the name before lenition of Conaire?
