The surname Larkin has its roots in Ireland and has an interesting history that spans several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "larcach," meaning "fierce" or "fierce warrior." In ancient Ireland, the Larkins were known to be a prominent and powerful clan.
The Larkin clan originated in County Tipperary, which is located in the province of Munster. They were part of the ruling class, known as the Gaelic nobility, and held significant land holdings in the region. The Larkins were involved in various conflicts and battles throughout Irish history, including the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
During the period of English colonization and the Anglo-Norman influence in Ireland, the Larkin name spread to other parts of the country. Many Larkins migrated to different counties, including Clare, Galway, and Dublin. Over time, the surname became more widespread and is now found throughout Ireland and the Irish diaspora.
Today, individuals with the surname Larkin can be found in various professions and walks of life. They continue to retain their Irish heritage and are proud of their ancestry. The Larkin name serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of the Irish people.
