The surname Constable has a long history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Old French word "conestable," which referred to the highest-ranking officer in the medieval household of a nobleman. The position of constable was one of great honor and responsibility, often involving military and administrative duties.
The surname Constable likely found its way to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Normans, with their French origins, brought with them their language and naming practices. Over time, the surname gradually became anglicized and adopted by Irish families.
One prominent Irish family associated with the Constable surname is the De Courcy family. They were descended from John de Courcy, a Norman knight who played a significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland. The De Courcy family became powerful landowners and held positions of authority in various parts of Ireland.
