The surname Steele is of ancient origin and has its roots in Ireland. It is derived from the Old English word "stigel," which means "steel" or "sword." The name was originally given to individuals who were skilled in the art of metalworking, particularly in forging and shaping steel.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English settlers arrived in the country. It is believed that some of these settlers brought the surname Steele with them, establishing families with this name in Ireland. Over time, the surname became anglicized and adopted by the native Irish population as well.
The Steele family was prominent in various regions of Ireland, including Ulster, Leinster, and Munster. They were often involved in trade and commerce, and some members of the family held positions of power and influence in their communities.
In terms of Gaelicization, the surname Steele is similar to the Irish name "Mac an Airchinnigh," which means "son of the swordsmith." This suggests that some Irish families with the surname Steele may have originated from a Gaelic-speaking background and adopted the English surname.
Today, the surname Steele continues to be found among individuals of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in various parts of the world where Irish immigrants have settled.
