The surname Wilkes has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name Wilkes is derived from the Germanic personal name Wilhelm, which can be translated to "will" and "helmet." The name first appeared in England after the Norman Conquest in 1066, but it wasn't until several centuries later that it became more prevalent.

In Ireland, the Wilkes surname is mainly associated with the province of Ulster. During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many English and Scottish settlers were encouraged to relocate to Ireland. It is likely that some individuals with the surname Wilkes were part of this migration and established themselves in Ulster.

Over time, the Wilkes family in Ireland would have become integrated into the local communities, adopting Irish cultural practices and traditions. However, it is important to note that surname origins can differ depending on individual family histories, and not all individuals with the surname Wilkes of Irish descent may necessarily have connections to Ulster or the Plantation. Researching specific family records, such as birth, marriage, and immigration records, can provide more insights into an individual's lineage and ancestral connections.
