The surname "Norwich" has its origins in the city of Norwich, which is located in Norfolk, England. However, when it comes to its connection to Irish descent, the history takes a slightly different path.
The name "Norwich" is believed to have been introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. Many Norman families, including those with the surname "Norwich," settled in Ireland during this period and subsequently intermarried with the native Irish population.
Over time, the surname "Norwich" became anglicized in Ireland, with variations such as "Norridge" and "Norragh" appearing. This anglicization was common among many surnames of Norman origin in Ireland.
It is important to note that the surname "Norwich" of Irish descent is relatively rare compared to other surnames of Norman origin in Ireland. This is likely due to the smaller number of Norman settlers who carried the name and the subsequent assimilation into the Irish population.
Today, individuals with the surname "Norwich" of Irish descent can be found both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish migration occurred. The name serves as a reminder of the historical connections between Ireland and England during the medieval period.
