The current name reflects the contemporary English term "union pipes", which in turn is a part translation of the original Irish-language term píobaí uilleann, which means "pipes of the elbow". The idea they were first made in England might have come from the same school of thought that says football is a modern English invention. England of course was originally as Celtic as Ireland, but lost its ancient culture at the hands of the Romans about 2,000 years ago. Just one perspective to consider

The English banned the pipes for centuries because of the fear it rose in English ranks and the bravery it brought out in the Scotts and Celts.

In fact the Irish adopt instruments all the time and brand them as Irish the Greek bozuki as a perfect example or the penny whistle. Even the modern instrument now labeled as the Irish flute was developed by an English flautist Charles Nicholson in the early 19th century. It inspired Bohem to make the modern keyed flute and as these instruments (Nicholson) flutes became obsolete they were adopted by Irish and Scottish traditions.

@segano1 your correct the modern name for the Uilleann pipes was Gaelicized at the turn of the 20th century by Flood, before then the pipes were known as the Union pipes and were played and developed all over the British Isles by makers and players in Scotland, England and Ireland. They come from the older Pastoral pipes which are first recorded in London in 1724 and some of the finest sets were made by Robert Reid in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the North of England.
