The surname Pound has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name derives from the Old English word "pund," meaning a pound weight. This was a unit of measure used to weigh items in medieval times. The surname Pound likely originated as an occupational name for someone who worked as a weigher or a moneyer, someone who produced and regulated currency. It is believed that the Pound surname was introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Many Norman settlers adopted English surnames to distinguish themselves from the native Irish population. The name Pound was one of the surnames that were anglicized during this time. Over the centuries, the Pound family spread throughout Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Leinster and Munster. They established themselves as landowners and members of the gentry class. The name Pound can still be found today in various parts of Ireland, although it is not as common as some other surnames. It is worth noting that the Pound surname has variations, such as Pounds and Poundes, which can be found in different regions of Ireland. This is not uncommon, as surnames often evolved and changed over time. Overall, the history of the Pound surname in Ireland is closely tied to the Norman invasion and subsequent anglicization of names. Today, those with the Pound surname can take pride in their Irish heritage and the rich history that comes with it.
