The surname Spalding has its origins in England, but it also has a significant presence in Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English word "spald," which means "splinter" or "wooden chip." This suggests that the original bearers of the name were likely associated with the timber industry.
The Spalding family can be traced back to the medieval period in both England and Ireland. In Ireland, the name is primarily associated with County Laois, also known as Queen's County. It is believed that the Spaldings originally settled in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century.
Over the centuries, the Spalding name has spread throughout Ireland, with branches of the family establishing themselves in various counties. Many Spaldings in Ireland were involved in agriculture, particularly as landowners and farmers.
The Irish Spaldings faced numerous challenges throughout history, including the Cromwellian conquest and the Penal Laws. These events led to the decline of the Spalding population in Ireland. Today, the surname is less common in Ireland compared to other countries.
Despite its English origins, the Spalding surname has become an important part of Irish genealogy. It represents a connection to the early Norman settlers and the subsequent history and heritage of the Spalding family in Ireland.
