The surname Tilney has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent.
The name is believed to have originated from the village of Tilney, located in Norfolk, England. However, it is also found among Irish families, suggesting a migration of the surname to Ireland at some point in history.
The exact reason for this migration is not known, but it is likely that some individuals with the surname Tilney moved to Ireland for various reasons, such as trade or marriage. Over time, these individuals and their descendants became known as Irish Tilneys.
The surname itself is of English origin, derived from the Old English personal name "Tunweald" or "Tunwald," meaning "ruler of the settlement." This personal name eventually evolved into the surname Tilney.
In Ireland, the surname Tilney may have undergone some alterations or adaptations, as is common with surnames of English origin. However, the basic etymology and meaning of the name remain the same.
Today, individuals with the surname Tilney can be found in various parts of Ireland, as well as in other countries with significant Irish diaspora communities.
