The surname Lochore has its roots in Ireland, specifically in Scottish Gaelic-speaking areas. The name is believed to be derived from the Gaelic word "loch" meaning "lake" and the word "cor" meaning "a large hollow." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were likely associated with a large lake or a hollow near a lake.
The Lochore family is believed to have originated in the region of Scotland known as Fife. Over time, some members of the Lochore family migrated to Ireland, particularly to the northern parts of the country where Scottish influence was strong. It is likely that these individuals retained their Scottish surname, Lochore, even after settling in Ireland.
The Lochore name can be found in various records throughout Irish history. For example, there are mentions of Lochores in the 17th-century Hearth Money Rolls, which were tax records that provide valuable insights into the population of the time. The surname also appears in church registers and land records, indicating that the Lochore family was well-established in Irish society.
Today, descendants of the Lochore family can be found both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled. The surname continues to be passed down through generations, preserving the historical connection to Scotland and the Gaelic-speaking areas of Ireland.
