The surname "Turner," of Irish descent, has a rich history that can be traced back to medieval times. It originated from the Old English word "tuner," which means a person who operates a lathe or a wood-turning machine. The surname was given to individuals who made a living as skilled craftsmen in turning wood. During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English settlers arrived and brought their surnames with them. The surname Turner was one of the surnames that became established in Ireland during this time. Over the centuries, the Turner family spread throughout the country, with notable concentrations in counties Dublin, Cork, and Galway. The Turner surname also played a significant role in Irish history. Many bearers of the surname were involved in the defense and governance of the country. Some notable Turners served as military officers, politicians, and judges, leaving a lasting legacy in Irish society. In modern times, the Turner surname has continued to be present in Ireland, and many individuals with Irish heritage around the world bear this name. The surname serves as a connection to Irish history and the centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship and skilled workmanship.
