.png "Gordon (Duke of Gordon) Coat of Arms")
The surname Gordon has a rich history, particularly in the context of the Duke of Gordon, and its origins can be traced back to Ireland. The name Gordon is believed to have derived from the Gaelic word "gor-dun," which means "great fort."
The Gordons first arrived in Scotland during the 11th century and quickly rose to prominence. They were known for their military prowess and played a significant role in the country's history.
By the 16th century, the Gordons had established themselves as a powerful noble family, with the main branch of the family becoming the Earls and later the Dukes of Gordon. They became one of the most influential clans in Scotland and held vast land holdings in the north-east region, including Aberdeenshire.
Although the Gordons were primarily Scottish, they had ties to Ireland through intermarriage and alliances with Irish families. This connection is evident in the Gaelic origins of their surname and their involvement in Irish affairs.
Today, the Duke of Gordon title is no longer in use, as the last Duke passed away in 1836. However, the legacy of the Gordon family, their Irish heritage, and their significant contributions to Scottish history continue to be remembered and celebrated.
