The surname Coote, particularly in its association with Irish descent, has Norman roots, originating from the Old Norse personal name Kóti or the Middle English cote, which means a small cottage or shelter. The name was likely brought to England during the Norman Conquest in 1066. Over time, families with this surname spread across England and into Ireland.
The Coote family arrived in Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion in the late 12th century. However, the surname became prominent in Irish history in the 17th century with Sir Charles Coote, who was granted lands in Ireland for his services to the Crown during the Elizabethan wars. He was one of the first of the family to settle in Ireland, establishing a base at Castle Cuffe in what is now County Laois.
The Cootes became influential landowners and members of the Protestant ruling class in Ireland, often involved in military and political affairs. Despite being of English descent, the family became part of the fabric of the Irish aristocracy for several centuries, with several members of the Coote family being elevated to the peerage, including the titles of Earl of Mountrath and Earl of Bellomont.
Throughout the centuries, as with many Anglo-Irish families, the Cootes' fortunes fluctuated, but the legacy of their surname endures both in Ireland and among Irish descendants around the world.
