See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunkett
Apparently
and there is a coat of arms.Variants of the name Plunkett include Plunket, Plucknett and Plunkitt. This name is of French origin, being a corruption of the word 'blanchet', meaning 'white', and was introduced to Ireland at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion. It has now become exclusively Irish.

Perhaps they have, not sure tbh. Medieval names much less so I think.Matt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:13 pmHaven't "old fashioned" names come a bit back into fashion in recent years, though?
