The surname Jessop has an intriguing history, particularly among families of Irish descent. It is derived from the given name Joseph, which can be traced back to biblical times. Joseph was a common name among the early Christians, and it spread throughout Europe over the centuries. In Ireland, the name Joseph was anglicized as Jessop, often with variations such as Josoph or Jesop.
The Jessop surname in Ireland can be found predominantly in the provinces of Ulster and Leinster. Many Irish Jessops can trace their roots to Scottish settlers who arrived in the 17th century. These settlers were part of the Plantation of Ulster, an initiative by the English monarchy to colonize and assert control over Ireland. As the Scottish settlers integrated into Irish society, their surnames and traditions blended with the local culture, resulting in unique Irish variations.
The Jessop surname in Ireland also has connections to Anglo-Norman origins. After the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Norman families settled in the country. Over time, these families intermarried with the local Irish population, creating new surnames that combined Norman and Gaelic elements. Jessop is believed to be one such surname, possibly derived from the Norman name Josse.
Today, the Jessop surname continues to be proudly carried by many Irish families, serving as a reminder of their rich ancestry and the diverse historical influences that have shaped their heritage.
