The surname Thornbery or Thornbury has its roots in Ireland and is of Anglo-Norman origin. The name is derived from the Old English words "thorn" and "bury," which together mean "thorn-covered town or fortress."
The first recorded instance of the surname Thornbery or Thornbury can be traced back to the 13th century in Ireland. It is believed that the original bearers of the name were Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived in Ireland during the Norman invasion of the country in the 12th century.
During this time, many Norman families were granted lands and titles in Ireland, and the Thornbery or Thornbury family is believed to have been one of these families. They likely settled in the province of Leinster, particularly in counties such as Kildare and Carlow.
Over the years, the Thornbery or Thornbury family spread throughout Ireland, and some branches of the family also migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, individuals with the surname Thornbery or Thornbury can still be found in Ireland, as well as in various other countries around the world, where they continue to carry on their Irish heritage.
