The surname Rowe, of Irish descent, has an interesting historical background. It originates from the Gaelic word "ruadh," which means "red-haired." The name was first used as a nickname for someone with red hair or a ruddy complexion. Over time, this nickname evolved into a surname.
The Rowe surname is predominantly found in the western part of Ireland, particularly in counties Mayo, Galway, and Sligo. It is believed that the ancestors of the Rowe family migrated to Ireland from Scotland during the 17th century.
During this period, many Scottish families relocated to Ireland due to the Plantation of Ulster, which aimed to establish Protestant settlements in the region. Some Scottish families settled in Connacht, where they adopted Irish surnames and integrated into the local community.
The Rowe surname has variations such as Roe, Rua, and Roy. The family name has been recorded in various documents, including church records, land deeds, and census records.
Today, descendants of the Rowe family can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world.
