The surname Spence, of Irish descent, can be traced back to the ancient Gaelic culture of Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "espainn," meaning "foreigner" or "Spanish." It is believed that the name Spence was originally used to describe someone of Spanish descent living in Ireland.
During the medieval period, Ireland was frequently visited by Spanish traders and soldiers, leading to intermingling between the two cultures. As a result, individuals with Spanish ancestry became part of Irish society and adopted the surname Spence to signify their heritage.
The Spence name was most commonly found in County Fermanagh and County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. These areas were known for their strong Gaelic influence and close ties to Scotland. The Spence family played significant roles in these communities, often holding positions of power and influence.
Over time, many Spence families migrated to other parts of Ireland and further afield, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the surname Spence can be found in various countries around the world.
Throughout history, the Spence name has evolved and taken on different variations, such as Spencer or Spens, as families adapted to local dialects and naming practices. Despite these variations, the surname Spence continues to be a proud symbol of Irish heritage and the blending of different cultures.
