The surname Collingwood has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is believed to have originated from the town of Collingwood in Northumberland, England. However, over time, it found its way to Ireland, where it became associated with various families.
One prominent Irish family with the surname Collingwood is the Collingwood-Bruces of County Londonderry. This family can trace their ancestry back to Sir Ralph Collingwood, who settled in Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century. Sir Ralph's descendants eventually adopted the hyphenated surname, Collingwood-Bruce.
Another family of Irish Collingwoods can be found in County Clare. The origin of this branch can be traced back to a man named Thomas Collingwood, who arrived in Ireland as part of the Cromwellian conquests in the mid-17th century. He settled in County Clare and his descendants have continued to use the name Collingwood.
Throughout the years, the surname Collingwood has spread across different parts of Ireland, and many families have established themselves under this name. Today, individuals with Irish roots bearing the surname Collingwood can be found both in Ireland and in various parts of the world.
