The surname Penner, when of Irish descent, has an interesting history. The name is derived from the Gaelic surname O'Peannaire, which translates to "the descendant of the scribe."
The scribe was an important figure in Irish society, responsible for recording and preserving historical and legal documents. As such, the surname Penner was often associated with those who held this esteemed occupation.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish families were forced to anglicize their surnames in order to assimilate into the new ruling class. This led to variations of the surname Penner, such as Pannier and Pennaire, as well as Anglicized versions like Pennerman and Pennerly.
Over time, the surname Penner spread throughout different parts of Ireland, with families bearing the name found in counties like Cork, Galway, and Donegal. These families often held positions of influence and were respected members of their communities.
Today, individuals with the surname Penner can still be found in Ireland, as well as in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, where many Irish immigrants settled. The surname Penner serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people.
