Hill Coat of Arms

The surname Hill, of Irish descent, has a rich and fascinating history. Derived from the Old English word "hyll," meaning a hill or mound, this surname was originally used to describe someone who lived near or on a hill. In Ireland, the name Hill can be traced back to the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.

During this period, many English and Norman settlers migrated to Ireland and brought their surnames with them. The surname Hill was likely introduced to Ireland through this influx of settlers, who established themselves in various parts of the country.

Over time, the Hill family became well-established in Ireland, with branches of the family scattered across the land. They were known to have settled in different counties, such as Cork, Dublin, and Wexford. The Hill surname became particularly prominent in these areas, with the family members often involved in local politics, trade, and other professions.

As time went on, the Hill surname continued to spread and evolve in Ireland. The arrival of English and Scottish settlers during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century further contributed to the growth of the Hill family in Ireland. Today, individuals with the surname Hill can still be found throughout the country, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage.
