The surname Wadge has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient Gaelic times. The name itself is derived from the Gaelic word "mac Giolla Dá" which means "son of the servant of Saint David." The name was originally associated with a religious devotee of Saint David and was used as a personal name before becoming a hereditary surname.
During the medieval period, the Wadge family played an important role in Irish society. They were often found among the ranks of scholars, poets, and religious leaders. Many members of the Wadge family held positions of influence within the Catholic Church and were known for their devotion to their faith. They were also actively involved in politics and held positions of power in local communities.
Over time, the Wadge surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in areas with strong Gaelic roots. However, as Irish families faced persecution and displacement during periods of political unrest and English colonization, many Wadge families emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, descendants of the Wadge family can be found around the world, carrying on their Irish heritage and maintaining their ancestral surname.
