Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: Irish Liam, Sinead.
Irish (of English origin): variant of Birmingham . This form of the surname is found mainly in Ireland.
History: The Bermingham family take their surname from lands held at what is now a great city in the West Midlands of England, but it was brought to Ireland as early as the 12th century. The Norman baron Robert de Bermyngeham was a follower of Strongbow (see Clare ); his name is found on a number of Irish charters between 1175 and 1179. The family was also known as Mac Fheorais (see Corish ) in Ireland, named for Piers (Gaelic Feoras) de Bermyngeham, the father of Robert.
