The surname Tate has its origins in Ireland, deriving from the Gaelic name Ó Táth, which means "son of Táth." The Gaelic name Táth itself is believed to come from an old Irish word meaning "hot."
The Tates were originally a sept, or clan, from County Londonderry in Northern Ireland. They were part of the powerful Uí Néill dynasty, which held significant influence in medieval Ireland.
During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Tates came into contact with the English settlers. Some members of the clan anglicized their name to Tate to assimilate into the English-speaking society. This led to the establishment of the surname Tate in Ireland.
Over time, the Tates spread to different parts of Ireland, including County Down, County Tyrone, and County Antrim. They became involved in various professions and occupations, such as farming, tradesmen, and military service.
During the Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Tates emigrated to other countries, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia, in search of better opportunities. Today, the surname Tate can be found among Irish diaspora communities around the world.
