The surname Worth or McWorth, of Irish descent, carries a rich history that dates back centuries. The name itself is derived from the Old English word "worth," meaning "enclosure" or "farmstead." It is believed that the name was first introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
Over time, the name Worth underwent several modifications, with the prefix "Mc" being added to indicate "son of Worth." This is a common practice in Irish surnames, signifying lineage and heritage. As a result, McWorth emerged as a distinct variant of the name.
The McWorth family likely settled in various parts of Ireland, with concentrations found in counties such as Cork, Waterford, and Tipperary. They were likely involved in agricultural activities, utilizing their land for farming and husbandry.
As with many Irish surnames, the McWorth name may have undergone further changes due to anglicization during British rule. However, the name's association with the original Old English "worth" suggests a connection to the land and a strong sense of belonging. Today, individuals with the surname Worth or McWorth can trace their roots back to Ireland, where their ancestors built a legacy tied to the land and their farming heritage.
