Boldly bearing the mighty family motto "I have fought and conquered!" through what would prove to be the very erosional- and often deadly- sands of time for many less fortuitous families, the proud and noble English surname of Shorten arises victoriously through the ashes of history from Northumberland, where they had long held a family seat- and lands at Shotthaugh- from just after the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. There is no doubt among scholars that some of the family would have subsequently moved to the area now called Ireland in a valiant attempt to escape economic, or even religious, persecution. As I am not a native of Ireland and cannot translate the Gaelic language, I cannot say what the name means there.
