The Kilby surname has its origins in Ireland and belongs to the Gaelic language.
The name is derived from the Gaelic word "coill," which means "forest" or "wood." In Irish history, forests were often significant landmarks or locations. Therefore, the surname Kilby was likely given to those who lived near or worked in a forest.
The Kilby surname is found predominantly in County Clare, located in the province of Munster. It is believed that the Kilbys were originally part of the ancient Dalcassian tribe, which had great influence in the region.
Throughout history, the Kilby name has evolved and has been recorded in various forms, including Kilbee, Kilbey, Kilbie, and Gilby.
Many Irish families with the surname Kilby emigrated to different parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The reasons for emigration include the Great Famine in the 19th century and the search for better economic opportunities.
Today, people with the Kilby surname can be found in various countries, but their Irish roots continue to shape their identity and heritage.
