The surname Bailey has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. Originally, the name Bailey was derived from the Old English word baile, meaning a city or settlement. It was introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Normans, under the leadership of Strongbow, established themselves in Ireland and brought with them their surnames, including Bailey.
Over time, the name Bailey became anglicized and was adopted by several Irish families. These families were often of Norman or English origin and were granted land and titles by the English Crown. They played significant roles in Irish society and were known for their involvement in local administration, law, and military affairs.
During the centuries that followed, the name Bailey spread throughout Ireland, with various branches of the family settling in different regions. Today, individuals with the surname Bailey can be found in various parts of Ireland and around the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora.
It is important to note that while the surname Bailey has Irish roots, it can also be found in other countries, such as England and Scotland, where it has different historical origins.
