The surname Bellingham has its origins in England and is primarily associated with the county of Northumberland. However, there is also a significant presence of Bellinghams in Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Ulster and Leinster. The Irish Bellinghams are believed to be descendants of the English Bellingham family, who settled in Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century.
The Bellinghams originally came to Ireland as part of the wave of English settlers sent by the English crown to colonize and establish control over the Gaelic Irish. They were granted large tracts of land in exchange for their loyalty and service. Over time, the Bellinghams integrated themselves into Irish society, adopting Irish customs and traditions.
The Bellinghams of Irish descent were primarily involved in agriculture and landownership. They became prominent members of the local communities and often held positions of power and influence. Many Bellinghams in Ireland today can trace their ancestry back to these early settlers.
The surname Bellingham has evolved over the centuries, with variations such as Bellinghame and Bellinham also being used. Despite the association with England, the Bellinghams of Irish descent have embraced their Irish heritage and have become an integral part of Ireland's rich cultural tapestry.
