The surname Aylward has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent.
The name Aylward is derived from the Old English personal name "Ęthelweard," which meant "noble guardian" or "noble protector." Over time, this name underwent various phonetic changes and spellings, eventually becoming Aylward.
The Aylward surname first appeared in Ireland during the 12th century, when the Anglo-Normans invaded and settled in the country. Many of these settlers were of Norman descent and brought their surnames with them. The Aylward family became prominent in the southeastern region of Ireland, particularly in the counties of Wexford, Kilkenny, and Waterford. They established themselves as influential landowners and played active roles in the local communities.
Throughout the centuries, the Aylward surname continued to flourish in Ireland. The family produced several notable individuals, such as Sir Edmund Aylward, who served as Lord Mayor of Waterford in the 15th century.
Today, individuals with the surname Aylward can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world, due to emigration. The name has retained its Irish roots and serves as a reminder of the family's historical significance in the country.
