The surname Purefoy has an interesting history, particularly in Ireland. It is believed to have originated from the Norman-French name "Pourfoy," which means "pure faith." The Purefoy family is said to have settled in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century.
The Purefoys were one of the Anglo-Norman families who established themselves in Ireland, particularly in County Cork. They became prominent landowners and played a significant role in Irish society.
Over the centuries, the Purefoy name underwent various alterations in its spelling, such as Purefey, Purefy, and Purfey. These changes may have been influenced by linguistic differences or the anglicization of Irish surnames.
The Purefoys of Ireland were known for their involvement in local politics and military affairs. They held positions of power and were actively engaged in the governance of the areas where they resided. The family's influence extended to economic and social spheres.
Today, descendants of the Purefoy family can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and the United States. The surname continues to be a testament to the heritage and historical contributions of the Purefoy family of Irish descent.
