The surname Colville has a fascinating history, particularly for individuals of Irish descent. The name is of Norman origin, derived from the Old French word "col" meaning "hill" and "ville" meaning "town" or "settlement."
The first recorded instance of the surname Colville can be traced back to the 12th century when the Normans invaded Ireland. They brought with them their feudal system and established strongholds throughout the country. The Colvilles were among the Norman families who settled in Ireland during this period.
Over time, the Colvilles became prominent landowners and played influential roles in Irish society. They were associated with various regions, including County Meath, County Louth, and County Westmeath. Their presence was particularly significant in County Meath, where they held vast estates and held positions of power.
The Colvilles also have historical connections to Scotland, where they were known as the Clan Colville. Members of the clan migrated to Ireland and became part of the Irish Colville lineage.
Today, individuals with the surname Colville can be found worldwide, but those of Irish descent carry the rich heritage of a family that played a significant role in shaping Irish history.
