The surname Milne has a rich and diverse history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is of Gaelic origin and is derived from the ancient Gaelic personal name "Maolán," meaning "bald." Over time, this name evolved and the anglicized form "Maolain" was adopted. The "Maolain" surname was commonly found in various regions of Ireland, including County Donegal and County Galway.
During the period of English colonization and Anglicization of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Gaelic names underwent further changes. The "Maolain" surname was no exception, and it gradually transformed into the anglicized form "Milne." This transition was likely influenced by English pronunciation and spelling conventions.
The Milne surname was particularly prevalent in the northern provinces of Ireland. Many Milne families resided in County Antrim, County Down, and County Londonderry. These areas were deeply affected by the Plantation of Ulster, a significant historical event that saw English and Scottish settlers arrive in Ireland.
Throughout the centuries, Milne families migrated and spread not only within Ireland but also to other parts of the world. Many individuals bearing the surname Milne can be found in countries such as Scotland, England, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, the surname Milne continues to be a symbol of Irish heritage and ancestry.
