The surname Drury has an interesting history, particularly in the context of Irish descent. It is believed to originate from the Old French word "druerie," which means "love" or "affection."
The Drury family first arrived in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. They were granted lands in various counties, such as Dublin, Leix, and Meath, by the English Crown. Over time, they assimilated into the Irish culture and became an integral part of the country's history.
One prominent Drury family member was Sir William Drury, who served as the Lord Justice of Ireland in the late 16th century. He was instrumental in suppressing rebellion in the country and maintaining English control. Another notable figure was Sir Robert Drury, who was a renowned diplomat and courtier during the Tudor period.
As the Drury family established themselves in Ireland, the surname spread and became more common. Today, individuals with the surname Drury can be found across the country. Many have traced their ancestry back to the original Norman settlers, highlighting the enduring legacy of the Drury name within the Irish community.
