The surname Ogle has an interesting history, particularly in relation to Irish descent. The name derives from the Old Norse word "auga," meaning "eye," and was originally a descriptive nickname for someone with distinctive eyes. The Ogle family can trace their origins back to the region of Northumberland in England, where they held lands from the 11th century.
It is believed that the Ogles first arrived in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. They established themselves in County Down and County Antrim, where they held significant land holdings and played an influential role in local politics and society.
Over the centuries, the Ogles in Ireland became prominent figures, with some members of the family achieving significant success and recognition. One notable figure was Sir William Ogle, who served as the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the late 16th century. The family's influence extended beyond Ireland, with some members immigrating to other parts of the British Isles and even as far as the United States.
Today, the Ogle surname can still be found among Irish families, both in Ireland and in diaspora communities around the world. The name is a testament to the family's enduring legacy and their historical contributions to Irish society.
