The surname Cholmeley has its origins in England, specifically in the county of Lincolnshire. The earliest recorded spelling of the name is "Cholmley" and it is believed to be derived from the Old English words "col," meaning cool or cold, and "m�d," meaning meadow. The name would have likely been given to someone who lived near a cool or cold meadow.
As for its Irish descent, it is important to note that the Cholmeley family is primarily associated with England and does not have strong Irish roots. However, it is not uncommon for surnames to have multiple origins and variations. It is possible that some individuals with the surname Cholmeley in Ireland may have English ancestry.
In Ireland, surnames were typically of Gaelic origin, reflecting the Celtic heritage of the Irish people.
