The surname Nunn has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name itself has English origins, derived from the Old English word "nunne," meaning a nun or a religious woman. In Ireland, the surname Nunn is believed to have been brought over by English settlers during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
After the Norman conquest of Ireland, many English settlers established themselves in the country and adopted Irish surnames. It is likely that some individuals with the surname Nunn assimilated into Irish society and became part of the local population.
Over time, the Nunn surname may have become more anglicized in Ireland, with variations such as Noon, Noone, or Nun being used. These variations reflect the influence of the Irish language on the pronunciation and spelling.
Today, individuals with the Nunn surname of Irish descent can be found both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled. The surname Nunn is a reminder of the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between England and Ireland over centuries.
