The surname Curtis has its roots in the ancient lands of Ireland. It is derived from the Old French word "curteis," meaning "courteous" or "polite." The name was originally bestowed upon individuals who exhibited these qualities.
The Curtis family first arrived in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. They settled primarily in the eastern part of the country, particularly in counties Dublin and Kildare. Over time, the family became prominent landowners and established themselves as respected members of the Irish society.
During the English colonization of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Curtis families were forced to leave their ancestral lands due to political and religious conflicts. Some migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others chose to seek fortunes in the New World. As a result, the surname Curtis can now be found in various countries around the globe, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Today, individuals with the surname Curtis continue to honor their Irish heritage and maintain a strong sense of family pride. Many have researched their genealogy and actively participate in Irish cultural events and organizations. The name Curtis serves as a reminder of the family's enduring legacy and their contributions to Irish history and culture.
