The surname Cranmer has its origins in Ireland and is believed to be of Anglo-Norman descent. It is an occupational surname, derived from the Old French word "cramier," meaning "a keeper of pigeons." The name became anglicized as Cranmer over time.
The Cranmer family can trace their Irish roots back to the medieval period when the Anglo-Norman invaders settled in Ireland. They were part of the Norman nobility who established themselves as landowners and held prominent positions in society.
Over the centuries, the Cranmer family became well-established in Ireland, and their name was associated with the land they owned and their influence in local communities. They played active roles in Irish society, participating in politics, trade, and contributing to the cultural and economic development of the country.
During the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, many Irish families emigrated to escape poverty and seek better opportunities. Some members of the Cranmer family may have also left Ireland during this time and settled in other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, or Australia.
Today, the surname Cranmer is still found in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities. It serves as a reminder of the family's rich history and their connection to Ireland.
