The surname Buckler has a rich history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Middle English word "bucker," which means "a person who uses a bucking machine to soften and whiten cloth." This occupation was prevalent during medieval times, and those who worked as buckers would often be known by this surname.
The Buckler family can be traced back to the 13th century in Ireland. They were known for their expertise in the textile industry, specifically in linen production. Many members of the Buckler clan were skilled weavers and dyers, and their craftsmanship was highly valued.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Buckler family faced significant challenges due to political and economic turmoil in Ireland. The Penal Laws, imposed by the English Crown, restricted the rights and opportunities of Catholics, including many Irish families. Despite these difficulties, some Buckler descendants managed to preserve their heritage and pass on their skills in textile production to future generations.
Today, the surname Buckler is still found among Irish families, both in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and craftsmanship of those who came before, and their contributions to the textile industry in Ireland.
