Lapslie Coat of Arms

The surname Lapslie has roots in Irish descent, specifically in County Donegal. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Láibhse" which means "dream" or "vision." The original bearers of this name were likely associated with the religious or mystical practices of ancient Ireland, as dreams and visions held great significance in Celtic culture. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced a period of colonization and unrest. Many Irish families were displaced from their lands and forced to migrate to other parts of Ireland or to other countries altogether. This led to the dispersion of the Lapslie surname, with some families settling in Scotland and others in England. In Scotland, the name Lapslie is predominantly found in the Dumfries and Galloway region. Here, the name may have undergone anglicization, becoming Lapsley or Lapsleye. The Scottish Lapslies were likely descendants of Irish immigrants who arrived during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. In England, the Lapslie surname is less common but can still be found in various parts of the country. It is possible that these Lapslies are also of Irish descent, either directly from Ireland or through Scottish migration. Today, the Lapslie surname is relatively rare, but it still carries with it a rich history and heritage rooted in Irish culture.
