The Montgomery surname is of Norman French origin, derived from a place in Normandy, France (Mont Gomeri, meaning 'Gomeric's hill'). The name came to Ireland with the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century and became well established there. The family traces through the Ruby Irene Ford line of Chuck's ancestors as Irish immigrants to America.
