The surname Rigby has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish roots. The name is derived from the Old Norse personal name Hryggr, which means "ridge" or "spine." It is believed that the Vikings, who settled in Ireland during the 9th and 10th centuries, introduced this name.

Over time, the surname Rigby became more prevalent in Northern England and Lancashire, where it is most commonly associated today. However, it is important to note that there is a significant number of individuals with Irish descent who bear the surname.

During the 17th century, many Irish families with the name Rigby migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States and Australia, due to economic and political factors such as the Great Famine and religious conflicts. As a result, the surname Rigby can be found in various countries with Irish diaspora populations today.

In Ireland, the Rigby name is most commonly found in the provinces of Leinster and Ulster. It is believed that some families with this surname anglicized their Irish names to Rigby during the process of English colonization and Gaelic suppression.

Overall, the surname Rigby has a diverse and multifaceted history, reflecting the movement and cultural exchange that has shaped Ireland and its diaspora communities.
