The surname Digby, of Irish descent, has a fascinating history that can be traced back several centuries. The name itself is of Anglo-Norman origin and was brought to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. The surname derives from the Old French personal name "Degé" or "Degi," which was eventually anglicized to Digby.
In Ireland, the Digby family became prominent landowners and held extensive estates in County Kerry. They were granted lands by the English Crown for their loyalty and service during the Norman conquest of Ireland. Over time, the Digbys established themselves as an influential family in Irish society.
Throughout the centuries, the Digby name continued to be passed down through generations, with branches of the family spreading to different parts of Ireland. They were known for their involvement in various professions such as military service, politics, and business.
The Digby family played a significant role in Irish history and witnessed turbulent times, including the Tudor conquest of Ireland and the subsequent Plantation period. Despite these challenging times, their prominence and influence endured. Today, descendants of the Digby family can still be found in Ireland, and the surname continues to be a reminder of their rich ancestral legacy.
