The surname Haskell has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent.
The name Haskell is derived from the old Norse personal name "Asketill," which is composed of the elements "askr," meaning "ash tree," and "ketill," meaning "kettle" or "cauldron." The Norse Vikings brought this name to Ireland during their invasions in the 9th and 10th centuries.
Over time, the name Asketill underwent various changes in Ireland, eventually becoming Haskell. It is believed that this name gradually evolved as the Norse settlers integrated into Irish society and adapted their names to the Gaelic language.
The Haskell surname was most commonly found in the counties of Cork, Limerick, and Kerry in southwestern Ireland. Many Haskells were farmers or agricultural workers, as these counties were known for their fertile land.
During the wave of Irish emigration to America in the 19th century, many Haskells made the journey across the Atlantic. They settled in various parts of the United States, particularly in New England and the Midwest.
Today, the Haskell surname can still be found in Ireland, as well as in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Those with Irish ancestry and the surname Haskell can take pride in their Viking and Gaelic heritage.
