The surname Gilbert has an interesting history when it comes to its Irish descent.

The name Gilbert originated from the personal name "Gilbert," which was derived from the Old Germanic elements "gisil" meaning "pledge" or "hostage" and "berht" meaning "bright" or "famous." The name was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans during the 12th century Norman invasion.

After the Norman invasion, the Gilberts settled in various parts of Ireland, including Counties Kilkenny, Kerry, Cork, and Waterford. They became prominent landowners and established themselves as part of the Irish gentry.

Throughout the centuries, the Gilbert surname continued to spread across Ireland. It also experienced variations in spelling, such as Gilberd and Gilbart.

During the 19th century, many Irish Gilberts emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, as a result of the Great Famine and other economic hardships. They brought their surname with them, contributing to the Gilbert diaspora in these countries. Today, descendants of Irish Gilberts can be found all over the world.

In conclusion, the surname Gilbert, of Irish descent, has its origins in the Norman invasion of Ireland. Over time, the Gilberts became influential landowners and eventually spread across the globe through emigration.
