An Early History of the Fitzgerald in Ireland

The Irish name Fitzgerald (spelled Mac Gearailt in Ireland), is of Anglo-Norman origin meaning 'the son of Gerald'. The Fitzgeralds of Ireland are said to be descended from Maurice, son of Gerald (husband of Nesta, Princess of Wales), constable of Pembroke and of a royal heritage in Wales. He accompanied Strongbow in Ireland during the Norman invasions and received lands as a result. Over the following eight centuries the family became one of the most powerful and numerous in Ireland. The Fitzgeralds were located in Counties Kerry and Kildare. The name is now widespread in those ancestral counties, as well as in Dublin, Cork and Limerick.

Keep in mind that the true value of any domain is how much a buyer will pay for it. If you have a domain for sale, you can ask a large amount of money for it, but unless you can find someone who will pay that price, that is not what the domain is worth, it’s just what you’d like to receive.
