The surname Tirrell, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to the medieval period in Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Toirdealbhaigh," which translates to "son of Toirdhealbhach."
Toirdhealbhach was a popular personal name in ancient Ireland and is believed to have originated from the word "toir," meaning "pursuit" or "chase," and "dealbhach," meaning "like a sculptor or an artist." This suggests that individuals with the surname Tirrell might have been associated with hunting or artistic skills.
Over time, the surname Mac Toirdealbhaigh evolved into several different variations, including MacTire, MacTyrell, and eventually Tirrell. It is likely that these variations emerged due to regional accents, dialects, or linguistic changes.
The Tirrell name is predominantly found in the southern parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Cork, Tipperary, and Kerry. The family might have had ancestral ties to these areas, and their descendants continued to reside there, passing on the surname through generations.
Today, individuals with the surname Tirrell can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name serves as a reminder of the rich Irish heritage and the historical significance of the Tirrell family in Irish society.
