The surname Barwell has a fascinating history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Ó Bearghaile," which means "descendant of Bearghal." The original name was derived from the Old Irish word "bearach," meaning "spear."
The Barwells were one of the ancient noble families of Ireland, with their roots tracing back to County Offaly. They were known for their bravery in battle and their connections to the ruling clans of the region. The family played a significant role in Irish history, particularly during the medieval period.
During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish families, including the Barwells, anglicized their names to assimilate into the English-dominated society. The name Barwell emerged as a result of this process.
Over the centuries, the Barwell family spread throughout Ireland, with branches establishing themselves in different parts of the country. They were involved in various industries, including agriculture, trade, and politics. Some Barwells gained prominence as successful merchants and landowners.
Today, people with the surname Barwell, of Irish descent, can be found across the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish populations, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The name serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Barwell family in Ireland.
