The surname Kirkby has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name itself derives from the Old Norse term "kirkju-byr," meaning "church settlement." It is believed that the surname originated in England and later made its way to Ireland.

During the Viking Age, which lasted from the 8th to the 11th centuries, Vikings from Scandinavia began to settle in various parts of Ireland. They brought with them their language, customs, and names. It is likely that the surname Kirkby was adopted by some of these Viking settlers in Ireland, as it was a common practice to name settlements after a nearby church.

Over time, individuals with the surname Kirkby spread throughout different regions of Ireland, including counties such as Dublin, Cork, and Galway. The name Kirkby became Anglicized, meaning it was adapted to fit the English language and cultural norms.

Today, there are still individuals of Irish descent with the surname Kirkby. Many of them have traced their family history back to the Viking settlers and take pride in their Norse heritage. The surname Kirkby serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Viking culture on the island of Ireland.
