The surname Nevill or Neville has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name itself originated from the personal name "Niall," which means "champion" in Irish Gaelic. The Nevills were an Anglo-Norman family who settled in Ireland during the medieval period.
The first prominent member of the Neville family in Ireland was Richard de Neville, who arrived in the country in the 12th century. Over the years, the family established themselves in various parts of Ireland, particularly in counties Kilkenny, Waterford, and Wexford. They quickly became influential landowners and held positions of power.
Throughout the centuries, the Nevills maintained their prominence in Irish society. They played significant roles in local politics, often holding positions such as sheriffs, justices of the peace, and members of parliament. The family also had strong connections with the Church, and several members became bishops.
The Nevills of Irish descent often intermarried with other notable families, such as the Butlers and Fitzgeralds, further solidifying their status within Irish society. They were known for their loyalty to the English crown and their involvement in military affairs during times of conflict.
Today, individuals with the surname Nevill or Neville of Irish descent can trace their ancestry back to this influential and established family. The name continues to be a reminder of the family's rich history and contributions to Irish society.
