The surname Fleury has a rich history, with origins in both France and Ireland. In France, the name Fleury is derived from the old French word fleur, meaning flower, and likely referred to someone who lived near a field of flowers or had a flowery disposition. The name was first found in the region of Normandy, and the ancient and noble house of De Fleury held a family seat at Fleury-sur-Orne.
In Ireland, the name Fleury is often of Huguenot origin, with many French Protestants fleeing religious persecution in the 17th and 18th centuries and settling in Ireland. These Huguenot immigrants brought with them their French surnames, including Fleury, and established themselves in various parts of the country, particularly in Dublin and Cork.
Over time, the surname Fleury has become anglicized in Ireland, and variations such as Flury and Flaherty have emerged. Today, individuals with the surname Fleury can be found throughout Ireland, with a strong presence in the counties of Dublin, Cork, and Galway.
Overall, the surname Fleury has a diverse and fascinating history, stemming from both French and Irish origins and reflecting the migration and settlement patterns of these two distinct cultures.
