The surname Weld is of Irish origin and has a rich history. It is derived from the Gaelic word "bhuilt," which means "a willow tree."
The Weld family can trace its roots back to the ancient Gaelic tribe known as the Ui Fiachrach, who were located in the western province of Connacht. The tribe was powerful and held great influence in the region during the medieval period.
Over time, the surname began to be anglicized as "Weld" and several prominent families with this name emerged. One notable family was the Welds of Lulworth, who were prominent landowners in County Dorset, England. They were descended from Sir Humphrey Weld, a Catholic who had settled in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The Welds of Lulworth were known for their involvement in politics and played a significant role in local affairs.
In addition to the Welds of Lulworth, there were also Weld families in Ireland who held positions of influence and power. They were often associated with the province of Connacht and were known for their strong ties to their Gaelic heritage. Today, the surname Weld can be found both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have settled.
