The surname Eccles has its roots in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient times. It is derived from the Gaelic name "O'hEigceartaigh" or "Mac Giolla Easpaig," which translates to "descendant of the devotee of the bishop." The name likely originated from a family that held a strong connection to the church or had a close association with a bishop.
During the medieval period, Ireland fell under English rule, and surnames became more common. Many Irish families, including those with the name Eccles, anglicized their names to fit the English language and culture. This was often done to gain acceptance within the English-dominated society.
The Eccles family spread throughout Ireland, with concentrations found in counties such as Donegal, Derry, and Tyrone. Over time, some members of the Eccles family migrated to England and other parts of the world, seeking better opportunities or escaping political and economic hardships in Ireland.
Today, the surname Eccles can be found in various countries, with descendants of Irish immigrants proudly carrying on their ancestral name. The name has evolved, and different branches of the family may have variations in spelling or pronunciation.
Overall, the history of the surname Eccles reflects the rich heritage of the Irish people and their enduring legacy across the globe.
