  • 1 Jaira Wilsey AN380 Dr. Sarah Hautzinger Surnames in Northern
    Jaira Wilsey AN380 Dr. Sarah Hautzinger Surnames in Northern Ireland: A Key to History and Identity "Nothing is more personal and closely related to ones identity that one's name-be it surname or name" (Penfield 1987: 118). In the United States, a 'melting pot' of global cultures and backgrounds, origins and ancestries can be determined from examining surnames. Daniella Martinez Jiminez believes that surnames say "a lot about your family background... there's a significance in that... I think it is also tied with the principle of independence and identity." A dramatic loss of personal, national, and ethnic identity has ignited a violent conflict in Northern Ireland for more than 30 years. Surnames in Northern Ireland can denote origin, religion, and even political outlook, and because the conflict often scrutinizes one ethnic group or the other (in this case Protestant or Catholic), surnames publicize an otherwise private identity (Maxwell, Ian 2008). The Irish have immense pride toward their heritage, and are generally seen as having backbone and fight, having strong roots and strong names. themselves in their heritage and their person, which can be seen by examining the roots of their surnames. History is synonymous with identity in Northern Ireland, and therefore, to effectively understand why the Northern Irish have such a profound attachment to their surnames, it is important to understand their history. This paper will explore how history and identity play a role in surnames in Northern Ireland. Lack of literature on the subject has made the focus of the paper the overall Northern Ireland population, without focus on one gender or another.
