The surname Bellew has its origins in Ireland and has a rich history that dates back several centuries. The name is of Norman origin and was introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. The Bellew family originally settled in County Louth, which is located in the northeastern part of the country. The name Bellew is believed to be derived from the Norman French word "beu bello" or "bel ami," which means "beautiful friend" or "good friend." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were possibly known for their friendly and affable nature. Over the centuries, the Bellew family gained prominence in the region and became influential landowners and members of the local aristocracy. They were known for their loyalty and allegiance to the English crown, and many members of the family held important positions within the government and the military. Throughout history, the Bellew family played a significant role in the affairs of County Louth and were involved in various political and social events. They were known for their support of the Catholic Church and often held positions of influence within the local clergy. Today, the surname Bellew is still relatively common in County Louth and is often associated with families of Irish descent. Many descendants of the Bellew family have spread throughout the world, particularly to countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, where they have continued to contribute to their respective communities.
