The surname Lacy, also known as De Lacy, has a rich history, particularly among those with Irish ancestry.
The name can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Following the conquest, many Norman nobles settled in Ireland. One such noble was Walter de Lacy, who accompanied Strongbow, the Earl of Pembroke, during the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the late 12th century. Walter de Lacy was granted extensive lands in Ireland, including parts of present-day County Wexford and County Kilkenny.
The de Lacy family became one of the most powerful and influential Norman families in Ireland. They constructed several castles, including Trim Castle, which is now the largest Norman castle in Ireland. The family also played significant roles in the governance and administration of the lands they controlled.
Over time, the de Lacy name evolved into Lacy, and many descendants of the original Norman settlers adopted this surname. The Lacy surname spread throughout Ireland and became particularly prominent in counties such as Kilkenny, Wexford, and Laois.
Today, individuals with the surname Lacy or De Lacy can still be found in Ireland, reflecting their Norman roots and the enduring legacy of the original Norman settlers.
