The surname Wynne has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Old Welsh name "Gwyn," meaning "white" or "fair." The name was introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
The Wynne family first settled in County Sligo, in the province of Connacht. Over time, they spread to other counties in Ireland, including Leitrim, Mayo, and Roscommon. They became influential landowners and were associated with the landed gentry.
During the Tudor period, the Wynne family aligned themselves with the English crown, and many members held positions of power and influence. They were known for their support of Protestantism and were active in local politics.
Over the centuries, the Wynne surname evolved and took various forms, including Wynn, Wynn-Eyton, and Wynn-Owen. Some branches of the family anglicized their name to Wynn, while others retained the original spelling of Wynne.
Today, the Wynne surname is still found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. The name continues to carry a sense of heritage and history for those who bear it.
