The surname Burnell, of Irish descent, has a rich history dating back several centuries. The name is of Anglo-Norman origin and was originally spelled Bernville or Bernvill. It is believed to have arrived in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
The Burnells were a prominent Norman family who settled in various regions of Ireland, most notably in counties Meath, Westmeath, and Dublin. They quickly integrated into Irish society and became influential landowners and military leaders.
Throughout the centuries, the Burnells played important roles in Irish history. They were involved in various conflicts, including the Norman invasion, the subsequent conflicts between the Anglo-Normans and the Gaelic Irish, and the Tudor conquest of Ireland. Over time, the family branched out, establishing connections with other notable Irish families.
The Burnell surname has undergone several changes in spelling over the years, with variations such as Burnal, Burnhill, and Burnel being recorded. These changes can be attributed to different pronunciation and spelling practices.
