The surname Harold, of Irish descent, has a rich and diverse history that can be traced back to ancient times. The name has its roots in the Gaelic language, with variations such as O'Haraill and O'Harold.
The name is believed to have originated from the personal name "Haraldr," meaning "ruler of an army" or "army commander." It is likely that the name was brought to Ireland by Norse settlers during the Viking Age.
Over time, the name Harold became established in different regions of Ireland, primarily in counties Galway, Mayo, and Sligo. The Harold family played significant roles in the local communities, often as leaders and warriors. They were known for their courage and loyalty.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Harolds were among the Gaelic families that resisted the foreign rule. They fought in several battles, defending their lands and heritage. Despite the changing political landscape, the Harolds managed to maintain their ancestral name.
In later centuries, some members of the Harold family migrated to other countries, such as the United States and Canada, seeking new opportunities. Today, the surname Harold can be found among Irish descendants around the world, serving as a reminder of their proud heritage and ancestral roots.
