The surname Mills, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back centuries. The name originated as a topographic or occupational surname, derived from the Middle English word "milne," which means "mill." It was used to identify individuals who either lived near a mill or worked as a miller.
During the medieval period in Ireland, mills played a crucial role in the local economy, grinding grain to produce flour and other food staples. As a result, the surname Mills became quite common, spreading throughout different regions of the country.
Over time, variations of the surname emerged, such as Milles, Milne, and Myles. These variations often depended on regional dialects and the phonetic spelling used in different parts of Ireland.
The Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries further contributed to the spread of the surname Mills. Many Irish individuals emigrated to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, bringing their surnames with them. As a result, the name Mills can now be found in various countries around the world, but it still carries a strong association with its Irish roots.
