The surname Nicholl has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic name "MacNiocláis," which means "son of Nicholas." The name Nicholas was a popular name among Christians and was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. Over time, the surname MacNiocláis evolved into various spellings, including Nicholl, Nichols, and Nicolson.
The Nicholl surname is predominantly found in Northern Ireland, particularly in counties Antrim and Londonderry. It is believed that many Nicholls migrated from Scotland to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. This migration was part of a larger effort by the English and Scottish authorities to colonize and control the region.
The Nicholl family played a significant role in Irish history. They were known for their involvement in various political and military events, including the Williamite Wars and the United Irishmen Rebellion. Some prominent individuals with the Nicholl surname include Sir Arthur Nicholl, an Irish judge, and Sir Hugh Nicholl, a politician and barrister.
In modern times, the Nicholl surname continues to be relatively common in Ireland, with many individuals proud of their Irish heritage.
