The surname Witter has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Uidhir, which means "son of the pale-haired youth." The Mac Giolla Uidhir family was historically associated with County Donegal in the northern part of Ireland.
During the medieval period, Ireland was under English rule, and the English language began to replace Gaelic. As a result, many Gaelic surnames were anglicized, and Mac Giolla Uidhir became Witter in the process.
The Witter surname is relatively uncommon in Ireland today, as many individuals with this name emigrated to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, during the 19th and 20th centuries. These emigrations were often driven by factors such as the Great Famine in Ireland and the search for new economic opportunities.
Today, individuals with the surname Witter can be found in various countries around the world, but they may still have Irish heritage. The name serves as a reminder of the ancestral roots and history of the Mac Giolla Uidhir family from County Donegal.
