The surname Turtle has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "O'Teirtuile," which translates to "descendant of Teirtuile." The name Teirtuile itself is believed to have originated from the word "teirt," meaning "to halt" or "to stop." It is likely that the original bearer of this surname was given this name due to their occupation or a personal characteristic related to stopping or halting.
The Turtle surname has a long and rich history in Ireland. It is primarily found in the province of Connacht, particularly in County Roscommon. It is also present in other parts of Ireland, albeit in smaller numbers. Over time, some bearers of the Turtle surname may have anglicized their name to Turtill or Tertell, among other variations.
During periods of Irish migration, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, many individuals with the surname Turtle emigrated to other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the Turtle surname can be found in various countries, with notable populations in those nations.
