The surname Wemyss has its origins in Scotland, where it has been traced back to the 12th century. However, there is also evidence of individuals with the surname Wemyss in Ireland.
In the medieval period, the Wemyss family established themselves as prominent landowners in Fife, Scotland. They held the title of the Earl of Wemyss and were known for their significant influence and wealth.
It is believed that some members of the Wemyss family migrated to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. This was a period of significant Scottish and English settlement in Ireland, and many families sought opportunities for land and economic prosperity.
The Irish Wemyss family likely maintained their Scottish roots and continued to use the surname. Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the name may have evolved, reflecting the linguistic and cultural influences of Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Wemyss of Irish descent can still be found, although the name is more commonly associated with its Scottish origins. The precise history and genealogy of the Irish Wemyss family would require further research and investigation into specific records and historical documents.
