The surname Antrobus has a long and fascinating history, particularly in relation to its Irish roots. The name is believed to be of Anglo-Norman origin, derived from the Old French words "ant" meaning "before," and "robe" meaning "cloak." It is thought that the name was originally used as a nickname for someone who was known for wearing a distinctive cloak or cape.
During the Norman Conquest of Ireland in the 12th century, many Anglo-Norman families settled in the country, including the Antrobus family. They became prominent landowners and contributors to the local community. Over the centuries, the Antrobus surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in areas such as Dublin, Cork, and Galway.
The Antrobus family has been associated with various notable individuals throughout Irish history. One prominent figure was Sir Edmund Antrobus, who served as Lord Mayor of Dublin in the early 19th century. Another notable individual was William Antrobus, a renowned artist and sculptor who gained recognition for his works depicting Irish landscapes and folklore.
Today, the Antrobus surname continues to be found in Ireland, with many descendants of the original Irish Antrobus families still residing in the country. The name serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people.
