The surname Nugent has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Normans who arrived in the country in the 12th century. The name is derived from the Old French word "nogent," meaning a new settlement or a place of walnut trees.
The Nugents were an influential and prominent Norman family who settled in County Westmeath, situated in the eastern part of Ireland. They quickly assimilated into Irish society and became one of the "Gaelicized" Norman families, adopting Irish customs and traditions.
Over the centuries, the Nugents played significant roles in Irish history, both politically and militarily. They held various titles, including the Barony of Delvin and the Earldom of Westmeath. The family also established strong connections with the ruling Tudor monarchy, which further enhanced their status and influence in Irish society.
Throughout generations, the Nugents spread across different parts of Ireland, and today the surname can be found in various counties, including Westmeath, Meath, and Dublin. Many individuals with the surname Nugent have achieved prominence in different fields, such as literature, sports, and politics. Today, the name Nugent remains an important part of Irish heritage and history.
