The surname Bagnall is of Norman origin, originating in England, and was introduced to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. The family initially resided in North Staffordshire in England, where they held a family seat, before moving to the Emerald Isle.
The Bagnall family first landed in County Wexford, in the province of Leinster, and quickly established themselves as an influential force. In the centuries following their arrival, the Bagnalls spread to various regions of Ireland, especially in the provinces of Leinster and Ulster.
However, the variant of the name Bagnall that is of Irish descent is 'Begnal' or 'Bignal'. This form of the name is believed to have originated from an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name O Beigléigh, which translates to descendant of Beigléigh. The surname's meaning is thought to relate to the term beag, meaning 'small', and laoch, meaning 'hero'.
As with many other Irish surnames, the Bagnall family was significantly affected by the Great Irish Famine in the mid-19th century, leading to a diaspora of the surname to other parts of the world, particularly North America and Australia.
