The surname Irving is Scottish. Its root is uncertain. One explanation is that the name came from a Celtic word irfon, meaning "green water;" another is that it originated with the word erinviene, meaning "from the west," and described men from Ireland who had settled on the west coast of Scotland around Dumfries. Its first recorded use was in the 12th century when Gilchrist, son of Eruini, witnessed a charter in Galloway.

There followed: the place-names of Irving in Dumfriesshire and Irvine in north Ayrshire and the Irving clan of Bonshaw in Dumfriesshire and the Irvine clan of Drum in Aberdeenshire. These Irvings and Irvines may have been related through a connection at the time of Robert the Bruce. But the relationship is not proven.
