Lambert Coat of Arms

The surname Lambert has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name itself is derived from the Old Germanic personal name "Lambert" which means "Land bright" or "famous land." This name was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans who arrived in the 12th century.

As the Normans settled in Ireland, they intermarried with the local Irish population, leading to the formation of distinct Anglo-Irish families. The surname Lambert began to emerge as a result of these intermarriages.

Over time, the Lambert name became more prevalent in certain regions of Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Leinster and Connacht. The Lambert family established themselves as prominent landowners and played important roles in local politics and society.

The Lambert name also became associated with various noble families in Ireland. One notable example is the Lambert family of Castle Lacken in County Mayo, who were granted the title of Baronet by King James II in the 17th century. This branch of the Lambert family played a significant role in the history of Ireland.

In summary, the history of the Lambert surname in Ireland is closely tied to the Anglo-Norman arrival and subsequent intermarriages with the local Irish population. Over time, the Lambert family became landowners and influential figures in Irish society, with certain branches of the family achieving noble status.
