The surname Ingram has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "inghean," meaning "daughter," and the personal name "Grian," meaning "sun." Therefore, Ingram can be interpreted as "daughter of the sun."
The surname first appeared in Ireland during the medieval period when the Anglo-Norman settlers arrived. These settlers, who were primarily of English and Welsh origin, brought their surnames along with them.
The Ingrams established themselves in various parts of Ireland, including County Down, County Armagh, and County Antrim. Over time, they assimilated into Irish society and adopted Gaelic customs and traditions.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish Ingrams emigrated to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, seeking better opportunities and escaping economic hardship. As a result, the surname spread throughout the Irish diaspora.
Today, the surname Ingram can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. Many individuals with the surname have taken an interest in tracing their genealogy back to their Irish roots, highlighting the enduring legacy of the Ingram name.
