Argyle Family History
Argyle Name Meaning
Scottish: from the regional name Argyll, a county of southwestern
Scotland, named in Gaelic as Earre Ghàidheal ‘coast of the
Gaels’. Argyll was the earliest part of Scotland to be settled by
Gaelic speakers from Ireland from the 6th century onwards. The origin
of Argyle as a surname owes more to its use to denote retainers of the
powerful and influential earls and dukes of Argyll, heads of Clan
Campbell, than to use as a habitational name.
