The surname Markham, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back several centuries. It is believed to have originated from the Irish Gaelic name "Mac Marcuis," which translates to "son of Marcus."
The name Markham has its roots in County Dublin, Ireland, where the Mac Marcuis clan was prominent during the medieval period. They were known for their association with the MacMurrough-Kavanagh family, which held considerable power in the region.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish families, including the Mac Marcuis, were displaced from their lands. Some members of the clan migrated to England and Scotland in search of new opportunities.
Over time, the Mac Marcuis name underwent changes in spelling and pronunciation, eventually becoming Markham. Many Irish families with this surname settled in England, particularly in the counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. They became part of the English aristocracy and played notable roles in various historical events.
Today, the Markham surname continues to be found in both Ireland and England, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have migrated. It serves as a reminder of the ancestral roots and enduring legacy of the Mac Marcuis clan.
