Wiseman Coat of Arms

The surname Wiseman has an interesting history, particularly when it comes to Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English word "wise" meaning "to know" or "to understand." It was originally used as a nickname for someone who was believed to possess wisdom or knowledge. In Ireland, the name Wiseman is more commonly found among Protestant families who settled in the country during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. These settlers, primarily of English and Scottish origin, were granted land in Northern Ireland by the English Crown. Many of these families adopted surnames that reflected their professions or characteristics, hence the use of the name Wiseman. The Wiseman surname has also been found in other parts of Ireland with different origins. In some cases, it is an anglicized version of the Irish surname Mac Uaislean, which means "son of the noble one." This surname was primarily found in County Mayo. Over time, the Wiseman surname spread throughout Ireland and beyond, with descendants of Irish Wisemans emigrating to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, people with the surname Wiseman can be found in various parts of the world, but its Irish roots remain a significant part of its history. In summary, the Wiseman surname has its origins in Old English, but its association with Irish descent primarily stems from the Protestant settlers in Northern Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster.
