There is an interesting history to the farm name of Irstad as laid out by O. Rygh. He states here that the name may have had its origin as a farm lived upon by an Irish person and goes back to about 1334.  So far it seems that the family lived on this farm for a couple of generations but probably only as serfs rather than land owners.  Translation by Google.

39. Irstad. Udt. í:2£sta. -- i Irastadum DN. V 89, 1334 Yrikstader DN. I 567, 1442 Ierestadt 1520. Irestadt HC. Ierstadt1578. Irrestad 1593. Iresta 1604.1/1. Iirstad 1616. Irstad 1669. Ihrstad 1723.

Efter Brevet af 1334 Írastaðir. Findes ikke ellers i Norge, medmindre Yrstad i V. Slidre skulde høre hid (Yristaðir, Yræstaðir, Yrisstaðir
DN. II 209 IV 445. II 565). Beslægtet mulig det DN. XII 157anførte Ira (Nom.; Aardal i Sogn). I Sverige findes baade Ire og Irsta oftere som Gaard-navn. Om Folkenavnet Írar, Folk fra Irland, kan her vel ikke være Tale; heller ikke kan ved denne Gaard 1ste Led antages at være Elvenavn; deri- mod kunde maaske tænkes paa et Mandsnavn Íri, der forekommer paa Island (Egils saga Kap. 83, S. 309 Jónsson), brugt om en Mand af udenlandsk (irsk?)
Herkomst. -- Formen Yrikstader i 1442 er mærkelig som Exempel paa Tilbøieligheden til at indskyde k foran s med efterfølgende Konsonant, i Skrift
endnu mere end i Tale (jfr. GN. 82).
39. Irstad. Drying. í: 2 pounds sta. - In Irastadum DN. V 89, 1334
Yrikstader DN. In 567, 1442 Ierestadt 1520. Irestadt HC. Ierstadt  1578. Irrestad 1593. Iresta 1604.1 / 1st Iirstad 1616. Irstad 1669. Ihrstad 1723.

After the letter of 1334 Írastaðir. Not available otherwise in Norway unless
Yrstad in V. Slidre should sound like hid (Yristaðir, Yræstaðir, Yrisstaðir
DN. II 209 IV 445. II 565). RELATED possible the DN. XII 157anførte Ira (Nom .; Aardal in Sogn). In Sweden both Ire and Irsta often as atrium name. About a people named Írar, people from Ireland, here can hardly be any question; Nor can at this house at 1st Led assumed to be a river name; on the other hand against what might perhaps be thought of a male named Iri occurring in Iceland (Egils saga Chap. 83, S. 309 Jónsson), told about a man of foreign (Irish?)
Provenance. - The shape Yrikstader in 1442 is remarkable as example of Tilbøieligheden to inject k front s with subsequent Consonant, in writing even more than in speech (cf.. GN. 82).
