The surname Paget has a fascinating history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name is of Anglo-Norman origin and is derived from the Old French word "page," which means "young servant" or "attendant." It originally referred to a young boy who acted as a page or attendant to a nobleman or knight. The Paget surname entered Ireland during the Norman invasion of the 12th century. The first recorded mention of the name in Ireland dates back to the 13th century. The Paget family played significant roles in the Anglo-Norman settlement of Ireland, particularly in County Meath and County Limerick. Over time, the Paget family integrated into Irish society and became more anglicized. They established themselves as prominent landowners and held positions of power and influence. The surname Paget became more prevalent in Ireland as the family expanded and their influence spread. It is worth noting that while the Paget surname has Irish origins, it is not exclusively Irish. The name can also be found in England, France, and other parts of the world. However, its roots in Ireland are significant and have contributed to its rich history. Today, individuals with the surname Paget can trace their heritage back to the Norman settlers in Ireland and proudly claim their Irish ancestry. The name has become an integral part of Irish history and culture, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the Norman invasion and subsequent assimilation.
