The surname Somerville has its roots in Scotland, specifically in the village of the same name located in the Scottish Borders region. The name is derived from the Old English words "somer" and "ville," which together mean "summer settlement" or "summer farm." The first recorded instance of the name in Scotland dates back to the 12th century, when Roger de Somerville held lands in the county of Lanarkshire.

Over time, the Somerville family spread throughout Scotland and eventually made their way to Ireland. Many Scottish families, including the Somervilles, migrated to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. This migration was encouraged by the British crown, which sought to establish Protestant settlers in the predominantly Catholic region.

The Somerville surname therefore became associated with Irish heritage, particularly in the northern province of Ulster. In Ireland, the family played important roles in various sectors, including agriculture, trade, and politics. Notably, the Somerville family has produced several prominent figures in Irish history, such as Sir William Somerville, an influential politician in the 19th century.

Today, the Irish Somerville surname is still found both in Ireland and in diaspora communities around the world. It remains a symbol of the historical connections between Scotland and Ireland, and the enduring legacy of the Somerville family.
