The history of the surname Scroope or Scrope, particularly of Irish descent, dates back several centuries. The name is believed to have originated from the Old Norse personal name Skroppr, which means "a horse."
During the Norman Conquest of Ireland in the 12th century, many Anglo-Norman families settled in the country, including the Scroopes. They were originally a prominent English family who held high positions in England and were granted lands and titles in Ireland.
The Scroopes of Ireland were primarily associated with the province of Connacht, particularly in County Galway. They established themselves as powerful landowners and played a significant role in the region's political and social landscape.
The family's influence continued to grow over the centuries, and they were known for their involvement in local government and military affairs. They were also active in the administration of justice and held positions such as High Sheriffs and Members of Parliament.
Today, the surname Scroope or Scrope of Irish descent can still be found among their descendants. Though the family's prominence has diminished over time, their history remains an integral part of Irish genealogy and heritage.
