The surname Fitz-Harris has its origins in Ireland and is of Anglo-Norman descent. The prefix Fitz is derived from the Old French word fils, meaning son of, and was used to denote a connection to a person or family. In this case, it indicated a connection to the Harris family.
The Harris surname itself is of English origin, and it is believed that the Fitz-Harris family originally came to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. They settled in various parts of the country, particularly in counties such as Tipperary and Kilkenny.
The Fitz-Harris family likely became prominent landowners and established themselves in the Irish aristocracy. Over time, they became integrated into Irish society and may have adopted Gaelic customs and traditions.
The surname Fitz-Harris has undergone various spelling variations over the centuries, including FitzHarris, Fitzharris, and MacHarris. This is typical of many Irish surnames, as the English language and Irish language have different rules for spelling and pronunciation.
Today, the Fitz-Harris surname is relatively rare, but individuals with this surname can still be found in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. The history of the Fitz-Harris surname reflects the complex intermingling of English and Irish cultures throughout Ireland's history.
