The surname Turner has a long and fascinating history, particularly among those of Irish descent. This surname is derived from the Old English word "torn," meaning "lathe" or "turning machine," and was initially used as an occupational name for someone who worked with a lathe or turned objects. The occupation of a turner was highly skilled and required expertise in shaping wood or metal.
In Ireland, the surname Turner can be traced back to the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. Many Normans settled in Ireland and adopted Irish surnames, including Turner. Over time, some of these families assimilated into Irish culture and became part of the native population.
During the medieval period, the surname Turner became more prominent among the Anglo-Irish, who were descendants of the Norman settlers. Many of these families held positions of power and were involved in politics, trade, and landownership.
In later years, with the mass migrations from Ireland to America, the Turner surname became more widespread. Many Irish immigrants brought their surnames with them and passed them down through the generations. Today, the surname Turner is common not only among those of Irish descent but also among English and Scottish families. It is a testament to the rich and diverse history of the name, which originated from a skilled craft and has evolved over time.
