Doyle Family Crest
Origin of the Name Doyle
The ancient history of the name Doyle was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives.
Over the centuries Surnames developed a wide number of variants. Different spellings of the same name can be traced back to an original root. Additionally when a bearer of a name emigrated it was not uncommon that their original name would be incorrectly transcribed in the record books at their new location. Surnames were also often altered over the years based on how they sounded phonetically and depending on the prevailing political conditions it may have been advantageous to change a name from one language to another.
Variants of the name Doyle
include Dolley, D'Oyle and Doyley. meaning 'Dark Stranger', the Doyles are descendants of the Norsemen who settled along the coast of Ireland in pre-Norman times, and in fact the Doyles are and were always more numerous in areas adjacent to the east coast. The ancestor of the east Leinster Doyles was Dubhgilla, a Norseman, son of Brudar, King of Idrone in County Carlow in the year 851. Though they are now widely distributed it is always in the south-east of Leinster that they are most closely associated. The first bridge over the Liffey in Dublin was constructed by a Doyle. James Doyle, 1786-1834, was Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, being in those times a great champion of the Catholic cause. Doyle in Ulster is found as a synonym of McDowell, who came to Ireland as Gallowglasses from Scotland .
The Doyle coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Doyle descendants.
