The surname Spry has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The origins of the name can be traced back to the Gaelic word "spreag," which means "quick" or "lively." In Ireland, the surname was primarily found in the province of Munster, particularly in counties Cork and Kerry.
The Spry family is believed to have originally settled in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. They were known for their involvement in various aspects of Irish society, including politics, the military, and commerce.
Over time, the Spry surname spread beyond Ireland, particularly to England. Many Irish families, including the Sprys, immigrated to England during periods of economic hardship and political unrest. This led to a significant increase in the number of Sprys residing in England, particularly in the southwestern part of the country.
Today, the Spry surname can be found in various countries across the world, including Ireland, England, Australia, and the United States. It is a reminder of the rich history and migration patterns of Irish families, as they sought new opportunities and faced new challenges in different parts of the world.
