The surname Bingham has its origins in Ireland, although its roots can be traced back to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the country in the 12th century. The name is derived from the Gaelic word Ó Binneáin, which means descendant of Binneán. Binneán was a personal name of uncertain origin, but it is believed to have been derived from a word meaning sweet or harmonic.
The Bingham family played a significant role in Irish history, particularly in the province of Connacht. They were originally a Norman family who settled in Ireland during the 12th century. The first prominent figure of the Bingham family was John de Bingham, who was granted lands in County Mayo by Richard de Burgh, the Earl of Ulster.
Over the centuries, the Binghams became one of the most powerful Anglo-Norman families in Connacht. They held extensive lands and were involved in various conflicts and alliances throughout Irish history. They were known for their military prowess and played a role in suppressing rebellions and defending English interests in Ireland.
Despite the Anglo-Norman origins of the Bingham surname, many individuals with Irish roots carry the name today. This is due to intermarriage and assimilation over the centuries. The Bingham surname has spread beyond Ireland, with descendants of Irish immigrants carrying the name in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
