The surname Turnbull has its origins in Irish and Scottish history. The name is believed to have derived from the Gaelic words "tairne" meaning "to turn" and "bull" meaning "a bull," indicating that the original bearers of this surname may have worked with or owned bulls.
The Turnbull surname is most commonly associated with Scotland, particularly with the Border Reivers, a group of clans and families who lived in the border region between England and Scotland during the medieval period. These families were known for their raiding and fighting, often stealing cattle and horses from the English countryside. The Turnbulls were one of the prominent families among the Border Reivers, and they had a fearsome reputation.
Some members of the Turnbull family, however, migrated to Ireland, particularly during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. The Plantation was a deliberate settlement scheme by the English and Scottish governments to bring Protestant settlers to Ireland, mainly from Scotland and England. Many Scottish families, including the Turnbulls, were part of this migration to Ireland.
Today, there are still individuals of Irish descent with the surname Turnbull, particularly in Northern Ireland. The name has also spread to other parts of the world through emigration and can be found in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, among others.
