The surname Hirst or Hurst has its origins in the Old English word "hyrst," which means a wooded hill or a grove. It was commonly used as a topographic surname for someone who lived near or in a wooded area. The name can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxon period in England, where it was predominantly found in the northern counties, particularly Yorkshire.
As for its Irish descent, it is important to note that the Hirst or Hurst surname is not of Irish origin. However, it is not uncommon to find variations of this surname among Irish immigrants or their descendants due to a process called anglicization. During British rule in Ireland, many Irish individuals were forced to adopt English surnames or had their surnames anglicized to make them sound more English.
Therefore, it is possible to find individuals with the surname Hirst or Hurst in Ireland, but their Irish ancestry may have been obscured or altered. It is essential to conduct further research into specific family history to determine the true Irish origins and ancestral connections of individuals with this surname in Ireland.
