The surname Walles, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "bhalla," which means "wall" or "rampart."
It is believed that the surname originated in County Galway, in the western part of Ireland. The Walles family was part of the ancient Gaelic nobility and held a prominent position in Irish society. They were known for their bravery and leadership in battles and were often referred to as "warriors of the wall."
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish families, including the Walles, were displaced from their lands. Some members of the Walles family migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others sought refuge in Scotland and England.
Over time, the spelling of the surname evolved to "Walles" and variations such as "Walls" and "Walsh" also emerged. As the Irish diaspora spread across the globe during the 19th and 20th centuries, many individuals with the surname Walles emigrated to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, the surname Walles is not as common as some other Irish surnames, but it still holds significance for those of Irish descent. Many individuals with the surname continue to take pride in their rich Irish heritage and the legacy of the Walles family.
