The surname Quarles has roots in Irish history, originating from the Gaelic name "Ó Coirbín." The prefix "Ó" signifies "descendant of," while "Coirbín" is believed to derive from the word "coirb," meaning "chariot driver" or "warrior."
The Quarles family is said to have emerged in County Galway, situated on the western coast of Ireland. They were prominent in this region during the medieval period, and records indicate that the name was present in various spellings such as Corbin, Corban, and Curwen. Over time, these variations evolved into the modern form of Quarles.
The Quarles family history is intertwined with significant historical events in Ireland, including the Norman invasion of the 12th century and subsequent English colonization. The family likely experienced social and political changes during these tumultuous times. Many Irish families, including the Quarles, faced persecution and displacement during this era.
As a result of the Irish diaspora, individuals with the surname Quarles spread to different parts of the world. Today, descendants of the Quarles family can be found not only in Ireland but also in other countries, particularly in regions with significant Irish communities, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The surname Quarles remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Irish ancestry.
