The surname Stewart, of Irish descent, has a rich and complex history dating back to ancient times. The name originated from the Scottish Gaelic word "stíobhart," meaning steward or guardian. In the 12th century, a Norman knight named Flaad became the first Stewart of Scotland after being appointed as the steward of Scotland by King David I.
The Stewarts played a significant role in Scottish history, rising to prominence and eventually becoming the royal family. In the 14th century, Robert II became the first Stewart King of Scotland. The Stewart dynasty ruled Scotland for over three centuries, producing notable monarchs such as Mary, Queen of Scots, and James VI, who became James I of England and Ireland.
During this period, some Stewarts migrated to Ireland, particularly during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. They settled in counties like Donegal, Antrim, and Tyrone, and their descendants carried the surname Stewart.
Today, individuals with Irish descent carrying the surname Stewart can be found worldwide. The name has become widespread due to emigration and migration patterns throughout history. It continues to be a symbol of heritage and identity for many people of Irish ancestry.
