I have found three primary Luttrell family groupings - the Luttrells of Dunster Castle in England, the Luttrells of Irnham and Carhampton also England, and the Luttrell's of Luttrellstown, Ireland. There may be more and that is what we are trying to discover. The family name Luttrell is believed to be descended originally from the Norman race, and many people believe the name Luttrell was originally derived from the Old French word Lóutre which means otter, while others believe the name could have been derived from Lutterell, a place in Normandy. They were more accurately of Viking origin. Anston Luttrell was one of the Norman chiefs who accompanied William the Conqueror to England in 1066 as did his father, Symon. A branch of this ancient family appears to have settled in Ireland so early as the reign of King John, when Sir Geoffrey Luttrell obtained from that Prince a grant of the lands of Luttrellstown, Co. Dublin. Both Sir John and Sir Geoffrey Luttrell served under King John in Ireland. The descendants of Sir Geoffrey were afterwards feudal barons of Irnham, and one of those barons, Robert De Luttrell, had summons to parliament on the 24th Jun, and 2nd Nov, 1295.
