Description
The Book of Ulster Surnames is a comprehensive reference guide to the most common family names of the nine county province of Ulster. With over 500 entries, it provides detailed information on the meaning, history, and origins of each name, including its original form and any changes it has undergone over time.
The book includes an extensive index with nearly 3,000 surnames and variant spellings, cross-referenced to the main listing. It also features notes on famous bearers of the name and where in Ulster the name is now most common. A new edition by the Ulster Historical Foundation includes an article by the author on the Riding Clans of the Scottish Borders, adding further insight into the history of the Ulster Irish and those who arrived from Scotland and England.
This reference book offers a wealth of information on the complex history of the Ulster Irish, providing surprising insights into the origins of a people with a rich and turbulent past.
