The surname West has a long history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English word "west," meaning "west" or "western." It originally served as a topographic surname, referring to someone who lived to the west of a particular location.

In Ireland, the surname West can be traced back to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Many Normans settled in Ireland and adopted Gaelic surnames, including West. Over time, the name became more anglicized and widespread across the country.

The West family has had a prominent presence in Irish history. Members of the West clan were involved in various important events, such as the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. They held positions of power and influence, including landownership and political offices.

Migration also played a significant role in the spread of the West surname. During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Irish families emigrated to countries like the United States and Australia, taking their surnames with them. As a result, the West name can be found in these countries today, along with its Irish roots.

Overall, the history of the West surname among those of Irish descent is rich and intertwined with the country's past, showcasing the influence of Norman settlers, migration, and the family's involvement in significant events.
