The surname Boult or Bolt is of Irish descent and has an intriguing history. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "boltach," which means "ragged" or "rustic." It was originally used as a nickname for someone who had untidy or unkempt appearance.
The earliest records of the name can be traced back to County Galway in Ireland, where it was prevalent in the 16th century. It is believed that the Bolts were a prominent Gaelic sept (clan) who held considerable land and influence in the region.
During the English colonization of Ireland in the 17th century, many Irish families, including the Bolts, were dispossessed of their lands and forced to relocate. This led to the dispersal of the surname throughout Ireland and beyond. Some Bolts settled in England, particularly in the counties of Leicestershire and Warwickshire.
Over time, the spelling of the name evolved, with variations such as Boulte and Boults becoming common. Today, individuals with the surname Boult or Bolt can be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, England, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In summary, the surname Boult or Bolt has its origins in County Galway, Ireland, and was associated with a Gaelic sept. The name has undergone changes in spelling and has spread to different countries through migration.
