The surname Kyle has its origins in Scotland, where it is derived from the Gaelic word "caol," meaning "narrow" or "strait." It was originally used as a descriptive term to refer to someone who lived near a narrow passage of land or water. Over time, the surname spread to Ireland through migration and intermarriage between Scottish and Irish families.
In Ireland, the surname Kyle is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Tyrone. Ulster has a rich history of Scottish settlement, known as the Ulster Scots or Scots-Irish, who arrived in the 17th century.
During this period, many Scottish families, including those with the surname Kyle, migrated to Ireland due to economic factors and religious conflicts in Scotland. These Scots-Irish settlers played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of Ulster.
The surname Kyle has continued to be passed down through generations, and many individuals with Irish ancestry still bear this surname today. It is worth noting that the pronunciation and spelling of the surname may have evolved over time, depending on regional accents and transliteration practices.
In summary, the surname Kyle originated in Scotland and was later adopted by families of Scottish descent who settled in Ireland. It is closely associated with the Ulster Scots community and has become a prominent surname within Irish genealogy.
