The surname Willoughby has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The origin of the name can be traced back to the Old English word "wilig" meaning "willow" and "by" meaning "farm" or "settlement".
The Willoughby family originated from Willoughby-on-the-Wolds, a village in Nottinghamshire, England. However, over time, branches of the family migrated to Ireland and established themselves there. They became prominent landowners and held positions of power.
The Willoughby family played a significant role in Irish history, particularly during the medieval period. Sir Christopher Willoughby, an English nobleman of Irish descent, was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland in the late 15th century. He was known for his efforts in suppressing rebellions and maintaining law and order in the country.
