The surname Wigmore has its origins in England, specifically in the county of Herefordshire. It is derived from the Old English words "wig," meaning war, and "mere," meaning lake or pool. The name likely originated as a place name referring to a settlement near a lake or pool associated with warfare.
However, while the name Wigmore is predominantly of English origin, there are also instances of it being of Irish descent. This can be attributed to the movement of people between England and Ireland throughout history.
During the medieval period, English settlers migrated to Ireland, particularly during the Norman conquest of Ireland in the 12th century. This resulted in the adoption of English surnames by some Irish families. It is possible that the surname Wigmore was taken on by an Irish family during this period.
Additionally, there may have been instances of individuals with the surname Wigmore in England marrying into Irish families and subsequently passing the name down through generations.
Overall, while the surname Wigmore is predominantly of English origin, there are instances of it being associated with Irish descent, likely due to historical migration and intermarriage between the two countries.
