The surname Kilgour has its roots in Ireland and is of Gaelic origin. It is an ancient name that can be traced back to the 12th century. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "Cill" meaning "church" and "Gabhair" meaning "goat". Therefore, the name Kilgour roughly translates to "church of the goat". This suggests that the original bearers of the name may have been associated with a church or perhaps lived near a church that had a goat as a symbol or emblem.
The Kilgour surname was predominantly found in County Down in Northern Ireland. The family was known to have been part of the ruling class and held prominent positions in society. They were often associated with land ownership and held estates in the region.
Over time, some members of the Kilgour family migrated to other parts of Ireland and even to other countries such as Scotland and North America. The exact reasons for their migration varied, with some seeking better opportunities or escaping political or economic turmoil.
Today, the Kilgour surname can still be found in various parts of the world, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, and North America.
