Surname is the form of Fitzgerald. In the Description of Ireland in Holinshed's Chronicle is the following passage, showing by what mean tricks this name became so widely diffused as we now find it. "The corrupt orthographie that divers use in writing this name, doth incorporate it to houses thereto linked in no kindrede:—Some write Gerolde sundry Geralde, divers very corruptly Gerrot, others Gerarde; but the true ortho graphie is Giralde, as may appear by Giraldus Cambrensis and others. Divers estraunge houses have also been shuffled in among this familie, by sundry gentlemen christening of their children, and calling them Giraldes, though their surnames were of other houses ; and if after it happened that Girald had issue Thomas, John, Robert, or such lyke, then they would bear the surname of Girald as Thomas Fitz. Girald, and thus within two or three discentes they shoore themselves among the kindrede of the Giraldines. This is a general fault in Ireland and Wales, and a great confusion and extinguishment of houses."
