The surname Robartes, also spelled as Robarts, has a rich history of Irish descent. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Roibéard," meaning "son of Robert." The prefix "Mac" denotes "son of," indicating that the family was descended from a person named Robert.
The Mac Roibéard clan was believed to have been of Norman origin, as the name Robert was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. These Normans, originally from France, invaded Ireland and established their influence, leading to the adoption of Norman surnames by the Gaelic population.
Over time, the Mac Roibéard clan became influential in various regions of Ireland, particularly in County Meath and County Kilkenny. They were known for their involvement in local politics and their land holdings. The family's prominence led to the anglicization of their name, resulting in the variations Robartes and Robarts.
During the Tudor period in Ireland, the Robartes or Robarts family continued to play a significant role, aligning themselves with the English crown and holding positions of power. They were involved in both the military and administrative affairs of the country.
Today, the surname Robartes or Robarts is found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where individuals of Irish descent have migrated. The name serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mac Roibéard clan and their contribution to Irish history.
