The surname Romney, although primarily associated with the Romney Marsh area in Kent, England, also has origins in Ireland.
The Irish connection of the surname Romney can be traced back to the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. Following the invasion, many English settlers, including those with the surname Romney, migrated to Ireland and established themselves there.
The name itself comes from the Old Norse personal name "Hromundr," which means "famous protection." Over time, the name evolved and became anglicized as Romney.
In Ireland, the surname Romney was primarily found in the counties of Cork, Waterford, and Wexford, where descendants of the English settlers continued to bear the name.
Throughout history, the Romney surname in Ireland has been associated with various notable individuals, including politicians, scholars, and clergy.
Today, the surname Romney, of Irish descent, can still be found in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
