The surname Stokes has its roots in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic surname "Ó Stócáin," meaning "descendant of Stócáin." The original Gaelic name likely derived from the word "stoc," which means "tree trunk" or "stump." This suggests that the original bearer of the surname may have been associated with a sturdy or resilient individual, or perhaps someone who lived near a notable tree or forest.

The surname Stokes first appeared in County Galway, Ireland, where the family held a seat from ancient times. Over the centuries, the family spread throughout Ireland, with significant concentrations in counties Galway, Kilkenny, and Waterford.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish families, including those bearing the surname Stokes, faced economic hardships and political upheavals. This led to mass emigration from Ireland, particularly to North America, where people sought better opportunities and a fresh start.

Today, the surname Stokes is found across the globe, but particularly in English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, where many Irish immigrants settled. The name continues to be a reminder of the Irish heritage and the resilience of those who carried it through generations.
