The surname Tankard, of Irish descent, has an interesting history dating back centuries.
The surname is derived from the Middle English word "tankard," which referred to a large drinking vessel with a hinged lid. Originally, the surname Tankard was likely an occupational name, given to individuals who made or sold these drinking vessels.
During the medieval period, the use of surnames became more common in Ireland. The surname Tankard emerged as families began to adopt hereditary surnames to distinguish themselves from others in their community.
Over time, the Tankard surname spread across different regions of Ireland, with various branches of the family establishing themselves in different counties. The surname can be found in counties such as Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, among others.
As with many Irish surnames, the spelling of Tankard may have varied over time due to factors such as illiteracy and the anglicization of Gaelic names. Different spellings, such as Tankert or Tanchard, can be found in historical records.
Today, people with the surname Tankard can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish emigration has occurred. The surname carries with it a rich history and a connection to Irish heritage.
