The surname Vaux has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name itself originated from the Old French word "val," meaning valley. It was initially a locational surname given to individuals who lived near or within a valley. The Vaux family is believed to have had Norman origins, with their ancestral seat in Normandy, France.
During the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, many Norman families, including the Vaux family, migrated to England. Over time, some members of the Vaux family migrated further to Ireland, where they became prominent landowners and established themselves as part of the Anglo-Irish gentry.
In Ireland, the Vaux family flourished, particularly in County Cork and County Waterford. They were known for their involvement in various industries, including agriculture and brewing. The Vauxs also held positions of power and influence, both locally and nationally, and were active in politics.
However, like many Anglo-Irish families, the Vauxs faced challenges during Ireland's turbulent history. The family's fortunes declined during the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Irish Civil War. Many Vauxs were forced to leave their ancestral lands and seek new opportunities elsewhere.
Today, the surname Vaux can still be found among Irish descendants, although it is relatively rare. It serves as a reminder of the family's rich history and contribution to Ireland's heritage.
