This distinguished surname is of early medieval Scottish origin, and is a locational name from the historic city of Stirling, in the vicinity of which several famous battles; including Bannockburn in 1314, were fought. Early examples of the surname include: Peter de Striuelin who witnessed a gift of the church of Karreden to the Abbey of Holyrood, in Edinburgh in 1158; Thomas de Striuelyn, archdeacon of Glasgow in 1228, and Sir John Stirling, who swore fealty in 1291.
