The surname Myers has its origins in Ireland, and is derived from the Gaelic name "O'Maolmhuire", meaning "descendant of the devotee of Mary". The prefix "O" signifies "descendant of", while "Maolmhuire" refers to the devotee of Mary, the mother of Jesus in Christian tradition. Over time, the name underwent anglicization and transformed into Myers.
The Myers surname is predominantly found in the northern provinces of Ulster and Leinster, where Irish clans and families were concentrated. These regions were heavily influenced by English colonial rule and saw waves of migration and intermixing with English settlers. This historical context likely contributed to the anglicization of the surname.
It is important to note that the Myers surname can also have Jewish origins, particularly among Ashkenazi Jews. In this context, the name is a variant of the Germanic name "Mayer" or "Meier", meaning "village headman" or "steward". Jewish individuals with the surname Myers often trace their ancestry back to Germany, Poland, or other Eastern European countries.
Overall, the Myers surname has diverse origins, including both Irish and Jewish backgrounds. The specific history of the surname for individuals of Irish descent can be traced back to the Gaelic name "O'Maolmhuire", reflecting their ancestral connection to the devotees of Mary in Ireland.
