The surname Bligh has a fascinating history, particularly when it comes to its Irish roots. The name is of Anglo-Norman origin and was introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Bligh family is believed to have descended from a Norman knight who accompanied Strongbow, the Earl of Pembroke, in his conquest of Ireland.
Over the centuries, the Bligh family established themselves in various parts of Ireland, particularly in counties Meath, Kilkenny, and Waterford. They became prominent landowners and made significant contributions to Irish society.
One notable figure from the Bligh family is Richard Bligh, who served as the High Sheriff of Meath in 1695. Another prominent member was Captain William Bligh, an English naval officer who gained fame as the captain of HMS Bounty. Although Captain Bligh was not of Irish descent, his exploits brought the surname Bligh into the public eye.
Today, individuals with the surname Bligh can still be found in Ireland and across the world. The Bligh name carries a sense of history and heritage, symbolizing the Norman influence on Irish society.
