The surname Arras has its origins in Ireland, specifically among the Irish people. It is believed to have derived from the Irish Gaelic name "Ó hEarghusa," which translates to "descendant of Earghusa."
The name Earghusa itself is derived from the Old Norse name "Eiríkr," meaning "eternal ruler." This suggests that the Arras surname may have Viking origins, as the Norsemen had a significant influence in Ireland during the Viking Age.
Over time, the name Ó hEarghusa underwent various anglicizations, with Arras being one of the resulting spellings. This is a common occurrence in Irish surnames, as the anglicization process often altered the spelling and pronunciation of names.
The Arras family likely played a notable role in Irish society, and their name became prominent enough to be passed down through generations. It is worth noting that Irish surnames were often linked to specific territories or clans, indicating a sense of familial and regional identity.
Today, individuals with the surname Arras can be found both in Ireland and across the world. Many people with Irish heritage may bear this surname as a reminder of their ancestral roots.
