This website is a free site with tons of data including naturalizations, directories, cemetery transcriptions, surname registries, Ireland land records and census records and it gets updated on a monthly basis. As a website gets larger and has more activity, it gets more expensive to keep it on line. Therefore, you will find advertisements on the website and by shopping through this site and/or making a contribution (no matter how small) through the Amazon Honor System, you help keep it on line.

Common Surnames of Ireland - Irish Surname Meanings & Places of Origin
Ireland was one of the first countries to adopt hereditary surnames, many of which were devised during the reign of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland, who fell defending Ireland from the Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014AD. Many of these names began as patronyms to define a son from his father or grandson from his grandfather. Thus, the reason for the common prefixes found on Irish surnames.
"Mac", sometimes written "Mc", is the Gaelic word for "son" and was attached to the father's name or trade.
"O" is a word all by itself, signifying "grandson" when attached to a grandfather's name or trade. The apostrophe that usually follows the O actually comes from a misunderstanding by English-speaking clerks in Elizabethan time, who interpreted it as a form of the word "of."
Another common Irish prefix, "Fritz", derives from the French word fils, also meaning "son."

The name "Rutledge" is a place name. It meant "red lache or pool" from the old Anglican words "redd", meaning "red", and "loec" - later "lache", variant "letch" meaning a "stream", or a "pool" in boggy land. (Surnames of United Kingdom by H. Harrison). A "d" in the middle or end (if a word in the old Germanic Tongues was sounded as "t"; hence the "t" sound in the first syllable. Harrison speaks of "Rutledge" as "a great Border name". Anciently, those of that name were said to dwell "by the waters (of Bale", or "Bailey Water", later called "Routledge Burn", in the township of Bailie, or Bailey, near Bewcastle in the southern part of The Debateable Land on the English-Scottish Border.

The steel bonnet you see above was the headgear of my forefathers, These people were border reivers from "The Debatable Land" a lawless enclave of disputed territory on the English Scots border which for several generations witnessed some of the most violent anarchy ever seen in the history of the British Isles.

The name has been transcribed in several different variants which have evolved over the course of time. The main variants surviving today include "Routledge", "Rutledge", and "Ruttledge". The map below shows a closer view of the border region. You can clearly see the names of the reiving families on the areas they lived. Note Routledges across the shaded area.

My Father, Anthony Joseph Ruttledge Grew up in Ballina County Mayo Ireland. Like the rest of the family he couldn't tell me why "Ruttledge" was not a "Fitzrutledge" or "O'Ruttledge", all they could tell me was that it was not an Irish name but had been in Ireland a long time, that started me on a quest, the results of which can be seen here
