The surname Charteris has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Old French word "charter," which means a legal document or written record. The surname originally referred to individuals who were involved in the creation, interpretation, or enforcement of legal charters.
The Charteris surname is believed to have been brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans during the 12th century. These Normans, who had originally settled in England after the Norman Conquest, gradually expanded their influence into Ireland. Many Norman families, including the Charteris family, became part of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy.
Over the centuries, the Charteris family in Ireland played important roles in both local and national affairs. They held positions of power and authority, often serving as judges, lawyers, or administrators. They were also active in the development and management of land and estates.
Today, individuals with the surname Charteris can still be found in Ireland and around the world. Many have traced their ancestry back to the original Anglo-Norman settlers and take pride in their rich history and heritage. The Charteris surname serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by the family to the legal and political landscape of Ireland.
