The surname Knight, of Irish descent, has a fascinating history that dates back centuries. The name derives from the Old English word "cniht," which means "servant" or "boy." In medieval times, a knight was a member of the military class who served under a lord and was trained in combat skills and chivalry. The surname Knight was often bestowed upon someone who worked in a knight's household or who displayed knightly qualities.
In Ireland, the surname Knight is predominantly of Anglo-Norman origin. The Anglo-Normans were descendants of the Normans who invaded England in 1066. They later migrated to Ireland and became influential in the country's history.
During the Norman period, many Anglo-Norman knights settled in Ireland and established themselves as the ruling class. They built castles, introduced feudal systems, and played a significant role in the area's administration. As a result, the surname Knight became associated with these influential families.
Over time, the Knight surname spread throughout Ireland, and many Irish families adopted it. Today, people with the surname Knight can be found across the country and in various parts of the world where Irish communities have settled.
The Knight family name carries a sense of nobility and valor, reflecting the historical association with knights and their esteemed lineage. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and the intricate tapestry of Irish history.
