The surname Becket, of Irish descent, has a rich and intriguing history that spans several centuries.

The name itself is derived from the Old English word "beo," meaning bee, and "cot," meaning cottage. It is believed to have been given to those who lived near or worked with bees, indicating a possible occupation or location-based origin.

The Becket surname has its roots in Ireland, where it is predominantly found. The earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the 17th century, with notable bearers of the surname documented in various historical records.

One prominent figure with the surname Becket was Thomas Becket, also known as Saint Thomas of Canterbury. Born in 1118, he was the Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of King Henry II of England. He gained fame for his defense of ecclesiastical rights against royal interference, and his martyrdom at the hands of Henry's knights in 1170 elevated him to sainthood. Although not of Irish descent himself, Thomas Becket's religious and historical significance may have influenced the adoption of the Becket surname in Ireland.

Over time, the Becket surname has likely evolved through various spellings and pronunciations, as is common for many Irish surnames. Today, it remains a distinctive and significant part of Irish heritage, representing a long-standing connection to the country's history and culture.
