The surname Sperling or Spurling, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back many centuries. The name is derived from the Old English word "sperling," meaning "a small bird," and was likely used as a nickname for someone who had bird-like qualities or characteristics. It is believed that the Sperling or Spurling family originated in Ireland and eventually migrated to other parts of the world, including England and the United States.
The earliest recorded instances of the surname can be found in ancient Irish records, where it was spelled as "Sporlan" or "Spirling." These records indicate that the Sperling or Spurling family was associated with the County Tipperary in Ireland.
Over time, variations of the surname emerged, including Spurling, Sperlin, and Spirling. These variations were likely the result of changes in pronunciation and spelling as the family migrated to different regions.
In the 19th century, many members of the Sperling or Spurling family migrated to the United States, particularly to states like New York and Massachusetts. They played an active role in the development and growth of these regions, and their descendants continue to carry on the family name to this day.
