The surname Fitz-Gibbon, of Irish descent, has a long and interesting history. The name is of Norman origin and arrived in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century.

The prefix Fitz in the surname means son of, indicating that the Fitz-Gibbons were descendants of a Norman noble or knight named Gibbon. The Normans, who were originally Vikings, had settled in Northern France and later invaded England in 1066. From there, they expanded their influence into Ireland.

The Fitz-Gibbons became one of the prominent Anglo-Norman families in Ireland. They possessed lands and held positions of power, particularly in County Limerick, where they were granted estates during the medieval period. They were actively involved in local governance and played significant roles in military conflicts.

Over time, the Fitz-Gibbons integrated into Irish society and adopted Gaelic customs. They intermarried with Irish families, establishing connections with the native population. This blending of Norman and Gaelic cultures is evident in the surname and its association with Irish heritage.

Throughout the centuries, the Fitz-Gibbons faced various challenges, including the English conquest of Ireland and the subsequent plantation periods. However, they managed to retain their identity and ancestral ties.

Today, the surname Fitz-Gibbon continues to be found among Irish descendants, particularly in County Limerick and surrounding areas. It serves as a reminder of the historical connections between the Norman invaders and the Irish people, representing the diverse and rich cultural heritage of Ireland.
