The surname Triggs or Trygg has an interesting history, particularly when it comes to its Irish descent. While the name itself may not be inherently Irish, it is believed to have originated from the Norse word "trygg," meaning "trust" or "reliable."
During the Viking Age, which spanned from the late 8th century to the mid-11th century, the Vikings frequently raided and settled in Ireland. As a result, some Norse names and influence made their way into Irish culture, including surnames.
Over time, the Norse name "Trygg" may have been anglicized or adapted to Triggs, reflecting the pronunciation and spelling changes that often occurred as names moved between languages and cultures.
It is important to note that the surname Triggs or Trygg may not be exclusively Irish, as it can also be found in other countries with Norse heritage, such as England and Scotland.
Nevertheless, the presence of the Triggs or Trygg surname in Ireland suggests a connection to the Viking influence on the island during the medieval period.
