The Fitzgerald family has deep roots in Ireland, tracing its lineage back to the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The surname derives from the Old French "Fitzgerald," meaning "son of Gerald," with "Gerald" itself being derived from the Gaelic "Gearalt," meaning "spear ruler." Historically, the Fitzgeralds were one of the most prominent and powerful families in Ireland, particularly associated with Counties Kerry, Limerick, and Waterford. They played significant roles in Irish politics, land ownership, and military affairs, often holding titles such as earls and lords. The family is known for its contributions to both Irish culture and society, as well as its complex relationship with the Gaelic nobility. Many Fitzgeralds emigrated during the 19th century, especially during the Great Famine, seeking new opportunities in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the Fitzgerald name symbolizes a rich heritage, resilience, and a proud connection to Irish history.
