The surname Wilkie, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to ancient times. The name is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Mhichil," meaning "son of the servant of St. Michael." This suggests a connection to the early Christian church in Ireland.
The Wilkie surname can be found predominantly in the counties of Fermanagh, Down, and Armagh in Northern Ireland. It is believed that the Wilkies were originally part of the O'Hara clan, which was prominent in these areas during medieval times.
During the turbulent years of Irish history, many families migrated to other parts of the world in search of better opportunities. This resulted in the dispersion of the Wilkie surname across various countries, including Scotland, England, and the United States. In some cases, the spelling of the name may have been altered to better fit the local language.
Today, individuals with the surname Wilkie can be found all over the world. Many people with this surname have achieved notable accomplishments in various fields, including literature, art, and politics. The Wilkie name continues to be a proud symbol of Irish heritage and resilience.
