It signifies someone who lived on a piece of land situated to the north of a settlement or an island located in the northern part of a larger landmass.
The origins of the Northey surname can be traced back to Ireland. In medieval times, Ireland was populated by various clans and families, each with their unique surnames. The Northey name emerged as a result of the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. The Normans brought with them their naming practices, which included adopting surnames based on the location of their residence.
Over the centuries, the Northey surname spread throughout Ireland. Many individuals bearing the name were farmers or landowners, residing in rural areas. They played an essential role in the agricultural economy of their communities.
Today, those with the Northey surname can be found across the globe, with a significant concentration in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking countries.
