The surname Scrivener has its origins in the British Isles, particularly in England and Ireland. In the case of the Irish Scriveners, their ancestors were likely part of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. The name Scrivener derives from the Middle English word "scrivein" or "scriven," meaning a scribe or someone who writes or copies documents.
As skilled record keepers and writers, the Scriveners played an important role in medieval society. They were responsible for transcribing legal documents, manuscripts, and other important texts. Their expertise was highly valued, and they often held positions within the government or the church.
Over time, the surname Scrivener spread throughout Ireland, with concentrations in counties such as Dublin, Cork, and Limerick. It is likely that many Scriveners migrated to Ireland from England, especially during the Plantation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries. The surname has continued to be passed down through generations, and descendants of Irish Scriveners can still be found today.
In summary, the surname Scrivener has a rich history in Ireland, stemming from the Anglo-Norman invasion and the important role of record-keeping and writing in medieval society.
