Cambro-Normans (
Usage in Ireland
Some Irish historians prefer to use this term instead of
The term Cambro-Norman is rarely used even in Ireland, and the Normans who invaded Ireland are incorrectly described as Anglo-Normans by modern historians.
In addition to such Cambro-Norman lords, some of Ireland's most common names, including Walsh and Griffith, came from indigenous Welsh families who came with the Norman invasion. (The surname "Walsh" itself, or in Irish Breathnach, "Briton", means "Welshman", and was applied by the Irish to Welsh who did not have a surname, as well as to particular Cambro-Norman lords.) Other indigenous Welsh surnames, such as Taaffe which came at this time, became very important families within the Pale.
