For several years I assumed it was O'Connor, because of the Irish custom to have your father's first name as your last name, and give the firstborn son the name of your father, like I assumed Angel did with Connor (it was while since I had that lesson in school tough, so maybe that wasn't the way it was).
The 'O' in O'Connor stands for 'son of'.
I even thought it said O'Connor on his grave stone, but I must have imagined that.
Recently, someone informed me of my misstake, and said that when Liam lived, they had already stopped that tradition of having your last name be the same as your father's first name, and they inherited the lastname as one does today.
I still hope Angel named Connor after his father tough. That would be a meaningful gesture.

His last name was never mentioned in canon. But yes, O'Connor would be a very good assumption. He might have named Connor in honor of his dead family, in hopes of making amends for their murder and making a fresh start. My mother is an O'Connor, so maybe I'm related to Angel.  (That accent would get him laughed out of my family reunions, though.) |

Isn't his last name Angel and his first name Geraldo? That's what Fred made up for Connor's hospital papers. |

I doubt it that the writers ever bother to really think about accurate names*. But it would make sense if Liam was part of one of the 14 tribes of Galway. The city is known for the 14 powerful tribes and the families gained their wealth by trade. They were all merchants, something that Liam's father was as well. Also the money Liam's catholic family had, even after the protestants took over, hints that the family was not a regular family in the city. In that case his last name would be one of the next family names: Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, D'Arcy, Deane, Ffont, Ffrench, Joyce, Kirwan, Lynch, Martyn, Morris or Skerritt. *The girl from a noble family, Willow and Buffy read about in the diary of Giles has a name which is not original Irish. Which could happen of course, but not very plausible. The other Irish characters are called Doyle, Liam and Connor... which are probably the most famous Irish names ever. And Connor is actually a family name, Conor is the name that was used as a first name. A guy like Angel would probably spell his son's name in a traditional Irish way. I think too much...  |

I read it somewhere that his last name could possibly be O'Malley, which is what I used in a fic of mine

O'Malley is a possibility. My girlfriend is from Mayo (which is near Galway) and is an O'Malley so I would have a good laugh if that was his real name. I wonder could we start a campaign to get his last name revealed by Joss? He revealed Faith's...why not Angel?

Maybe Angel is his last name and he uses Liam as his first. I don't know. I'm just throwing something out there.

It's Burke. Angel Burke. In "Earshot", Giles asks Wesley, "Who's going to get the demon heart?", and when Wes walks away, Giles says, "Burke," and they cut to the park, where Angel is fighting the demon. So Giles obviously realized Angel Burke was the man for the job, and gave him a call.  Wait, what's that? You say that Giles was actually just calling Wesley a 'berk'? Oh. Never mind, then...  |

When Liam returned to his family, as a newly sired vampire, his sister mistook him for an Angel. He liked the irony and decided to take the Latin word for Angel as his new namesake. |
