The surname Selwyn has its origins in the Celtic lands of Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó Seallabháin," which means "descendant of Seallabhán." The name Seallabhán itself is believed to be derived from the word "sealladh," meaning "vision" or "sight." It is likely that the original bearer of the name was someone with keen eyesight or a gift for foresight.

The Selwyn family can trace its Irish roots back to ancient times. They were part of the Gaelic aristocracy, known as the Uí Cinnsealaigh, who ruled over the southeastern region of Ireland. As a noble family, the Selwyns held considerable power and influence.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Ireland underwent a period of significant political and social change. The Anglo-Norman invasion and the subsequent English colonization led to the decline of Gaelic culture and the imposition of English rule. Many Irish families, including the Selwyns, faced oppression and discrimination. As a result, some chose to leave Ireland and seek better opportunities elsewhere.

Today, descendants of the Selwyn family can be found all around the world. Although they may have different surnames due to assimilation or anglicization, their Irish heritage and the name Selwyn are a testament to the rich history of their ancestors.
