The surname Gilmore is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Mhóir, which means son of the servant of the Virgin Mary. The name was originally a personal name and was later adopted as a surname.
The Gilmore surname has a long and rich history in Ireland, with records dating back to the 12th century. The Gilmores were originally a sept of the O'Neills, a powerful and influential Gaelic family in Ulster. They were known for their strong ties to the Catholic Church and their involvement in the political and social life of the region.
During the 17th century, many Gilmores were involved in the Irish Confederate Wars and the subsequent Williamite War, which resulted in the loss of their lands and the dispersion of many Gilmores to other parts of Ireland and beyond. As a result, the surname can be found in various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Today, the surname Gilmore is still relatively common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. It is often associated with qualities such as loyalty, faith, and strength, reflecting the historical significance of the name within Irish culture.
