The surname Scales, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is derived from the Old Norse word "skali," meaning a hut or shed. It is believed that the Scales family originally settled in Ireland during the Viking period, beginning in the 8th century.
Over time, the Scales surname became anglicized, with variations such as Skeels, Skeels, and Skelly emerging. The family was predominantly found in the northern counties of Ireland, particularly in Ulster. It is believed that they were primarily of Scottish origin, having migrated to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century.
The Scales family played a significant role in Irish history. They were often involved in agricultural activities, particularly livestock farming. The name "Scales" could also be associated with the trade of weighing scales, indicating that some members of the family might have worked as merchants or traders.
Throughout the centuries, the Scales surname has spread beyond Ireland, with members of the family emigrating to other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, individuals with the surname Scales can be found worldwide, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage.
