The surname Glanvile or Glanville has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Norman-French name "de Glanville," which means "from Glanville" or "of Glanville." The name Glanville itself is derived from the Old English words "glæm" meaning "bright" and "feld" meaning "field."
The Glanviles were an Anglo-Norman family who arrived in England following the Norman Conquest in 1066. They quickly established themselves as a prominent and influential family in Norfolk and Cornwall. Over time, some members of the Glanville family migrated to Ireland, where they became known as Glanvile or Glanville.
In Ireland, the Glanvile or Glanville surname was primarily found in County Cork and County Tipperary. The family played a significant role in the local communities and were often involved in land ownership and administration.
