The surname Chichester is of Anglo-Saxon origin, deriving from the city of Chichester in West Sussex, England. In the Irish context, the surname Chichester became prominent with Sir John Chichester, who served in Ireland during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century. His descendants became influential in Irish politics, particularly in the northern province of Ulster.
In the early 17th century, Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Chichester of Belfast, played a significant role in the Plantation of Ulster, a process of colonisation by English and Scottish settlers. He served as the Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1605 to 1616, suppressing rebellions and establishing control over the region. He was responsible for the founding of Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, and his legacy is still remembered in places names such as Chichester Park and Chichester Street.
The surname Chichester continued to be associated with the aristocracy and political power in Ireland, with the creation of the Marquess of Donegall in 1791, held by the Chichester family. The Chichesters have left an indelible mark on the history of Ireland, their surname bearing witness to centuries of political and cultural change.
