The surname Elphinstone has a rich history, particularly in Scottish and English descent. However, there is evidence to suggest that there are Elphinstones of Irish descent as well. The name Elphinstone is believed to have originated from the village of Elphinstone in East Lothian, Scotland. It is derived from the Old English words "�lf" meaning "elf" and "stan" meaning "stone." Therefore, the name Elphinstone translates to "elf stone." The Elphinstone family played a prominent role in Scottish history, with notable members holding positions of power and influence. While the majority of Elphinstones are of Scottish and English descent, it is believed that some Irish families also adopted the surname. This could be due to various reasons such as migration, intermarriage, or even the anglicization of Irish surnames. It is worth noting that historical records often list individuals by their occupation or place of residence rather than their surname. Therefore, tracing the exact origins of the Elphinstone name in Ireland can be challenging. In conclusion, while the Elphinstone surname is primarily associated with Scottish and English descent, there is evidence to suggest that there are also Elphinstones of Irish descent. The name's etymology and the limited historical records make it difficult to determine the exact origins of the surname in Ireland.
