The name was originally associated with the occupation of a plumber or a person who worked with lead. The profession of plumbing was highly regarded in Irish society, as it required specialized skills and knowledge.
During the Middle Ages, the role of plumbers extended beyond fixing pipes and included tasks such as creating lead roofing and crafting intricate lead designs for churches and cathedrals. Plumbers were considered essential craftsmen in ensuring the proper functioning of water systems and preventing leaks.
The Plummer surname became established in Ireland during the period of Norman influence, which began in the 12th century. The Normans brought with them the surname system, and over time, the Irish adopted and modified these surnames to fit their native language and customs.
