The surname Spence has its roots in Ireland, and its history can be traced back to the ancient Gaelic culture. The name Spence is derived from the Gaelic word "spéan," meaning "butterfly."
The Spence family is believed to have originated in County Tyrone in Ulster, a province in the northern part of Ireland. They were part of the Gaelic aristocracy and held significant lands and titles in the region.
The Spence name gained prominence during the 17th century when many Irish families, including the Spences, were forced to leave their homeland due to political and religious conflicts. They fled to various parts of the world, including Scotland, where the name Spence became more common.
Over time, the Spence family spread across different countries, including England, Canada, and the United States. The Irish Spences who settled in these places maintained their cultural identity and passed down their surname from generation to generation.
Today, individuals with the surname Spence can still be found in Ireland, particularly in County Tyrone, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. The name Spence has become a symbol of Irish heritage and resilience, representing a connection to the rich history and traditions of the Irish people.
