The surname Montgomerie has its origins in the region of Normandy, France. The name is derived from the Old French word "mont," meaning hill, and the Germanic personal name "Gomeric," which translates to "man power." The Normans brought this surname to England after the Norman Conquest in 1066, and it eventually made its way to Ireland.
In Ireland, the Montgomerie surname is mainly associated with the Scottish settlement in Ulster during the 17th century. Scottish settlers, including the Montgomerie family, were granted land in Ulster by King James I, as part of his plantation policy to establish English and Scottish control in Ireland. Many Scottish families, including the Montgomeries, migrated to Ulster during this time.
The Montgomerie surname became well-established in Ireland, particularly in County Antrim, where the family exerted influence in local affairs. Over the centuries, the Montgomeries in Ireland have been actively involved in various fields, including politics, military service, and business.
Today, the Montgomerie surname continues to be found in Ireland, and individuals with this name can trace their ancestry back to the Scottish settlers who made their home in Ulster. The name Montgomerie stands as a testament to the historical connections between Scotland and Ireland, and the enduring legacy of the Scottish presence in Ireland.
