The surname Walkingham, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is believed to have originated from the Irish Gaelic name "Mac Conmhaigh," which means "son of the hound of the plain." Over time, this name evolved and Anglicized to its current form, Walkingham.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced waves of invasion and colonization by various groups, including the Vikings and Normans. These influences led to the assimilation and intermingling of different cultures and surnames. It is likely that the surname Walkingham emerged during this time as families adopted new names to reflect their unique heritage and identities.
The Walkingham surname may also have ties to the English and Scottish origins. Some records indicate that individuals with this surname were found in England and Scotland as well, suggesting a possible migration or intermarriage between countries. As Ireland and Britain have historically shared close ties, it is not uncommon for surnames to be found in multiple regions.
