Early Origins of the Stirrett family

The surname Stirrett was first found in Ayrshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), formerly a county in the southwestern Strathclyde region of Scotland, where the name is a "local origin from Stairaird (now Stirie) near Stair." 1

Early spellings of the family were very different than today due to their translation from Gaelic into English. "Andreas Starheved resigned the serjandship of Lanark in reign of David. John Sterhede appears in 1493, and Robert Sterhed was witness in Irvine, 1499. James Storrat received a charm 'in breade for ane blaink of ane ill eye,' 1650. " 1
