The surname Samuels has an interesting history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name derives from the Hebrew given name "Shmuel," meaning "heard by God."

During the medieval period, many Jewish communities in Europe were forced to adopt surnames for identification purposes. As a result, Jewish individuals with the given name Shmuel began adopting the surname Samuels.

In the case of those with Irish ancestry, the surname Samuels likely originated from Jewish immigrants who settled in Ireland. It is believed that these immigrants arrived in Ireland during the 16th and 17th centuries, seeking refuge from religious persecution in other parts of Europe.

Over time, the surname Samuels became anglicized to fit the Irish language and culture. The "S" in Samuels was often replaced with the Irish equivalent, "Ó," and the name was sometimes further altered to "Ó Samhail."

Today, individuals with the surname Samuels of Irish descent can be found across the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The name continues to carry the legacy of its Jewish origins, serving as a reminder of the rich historical connections between different cultures and communities.
