The surname Balfour has a rich history, particularly in the context of Irish descent. The name is of Scottish origin, derived from the old Scots Gaelic word "baile" meaning "village" and the Norse personal name "Fúli." It is believed to have been brought to Ireland by Scottish settlers during the medieval period.

The earliest records of the Balfour surname in Ireland date back to the 16th century, when members of the Balfour family settled in various parts of the country. They were predominantly found in counties Armagh, Donegal, and Tyrone. Over time, the Balfours became an established family in these regions and played significant roles in local communities.

One prominent figure from the Balfour family is Sir James Balfour of Denmilne and Kinnaid, who was a Scottish diplomat and courtier. He served as the Secretary of State for King James VI of Scotland and was instrumental in negotiating the Union of Crowns between Scotland and England in 1603.

Today, individuals with the surname Balfour can still be found in Ireland, although the numbers may have decreased over time due to factors such as emigration and changes in family names. Nevertheless, the Balfour name continues to hold a place in Irish history and genealogy.
