The surname Barnewall has its origins in Ireland and is of ancient Gaelic origin. The name is derived from the Gaelic phrase Bairneach an Bhalla, which translates to descendant of Bairneach.
The Barnewall family can trace its lineage back to the ancient Gaelic kingdom of Mide, located in what is now modern-day County Meath. The family's prominence grew during the medieval period when they became part of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
The Barnewalls rapidly established themselves as a powerful Norman-Irish family, holding significant lands and positions of influence. They were granted the title of Lords of Trim Castle and Barons of Trim, and their seat became the magnificent Trim Castle in County Meath, one of the largest Norman castles in Ireland.
Over the centuries, the Barnewalls maintained their status and played various roles in Irish history. They were known for their loyalty to the Catholic faith during times of religious strife. Some members of the family held high military positions and were involved in political affairs.
Today, descendants of the Barnewall family can still be found in Ireland and around the world, proudly bearing the surname and preserving their rich ancestral heritage.
