It was brought to the country by Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived following the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. These settlers intermarried with the native Irish population, leading to the adoption of Irish Gaelic traditions and customs. Over time, the surname Martin or Martyn became anglicized, with various spellings emerging. It was also influenced by Gaelic naming practices, resulting in variations like Máirtín, Ó Martain, and Mac Giolla Mhartain. The Martin or Martyn surname is found throughout Ireland, with concentrations in counties such as Galway, Mayo, and Donegal. Many individuals with this surname have played significant roles in Irish history, including politicians, writers, and revolutionaries.
