The surname Betts has its roots in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Beatha," which means "son of life." The name originated in Ireland during the medieval period and was primarily found in County Kerry and County Cork.
During the 17th century, Ireland experienced significant social and political upheaval, with many Irish families being displaced and relocating to other countries. This period, known as the Plantation of Ireland, saw an influx of Irish immigrants to other parts of the world, including the United States.
As a result of this migration, the surname Betts found its way to other countries, particularly the United States, where it has become relatively common. Many Irish immigrants anglicized their names upon arrival, often due to difficulties with pronunciation or to assimilate into their new culture.
Today, individuals with the surname Betts of Irish descent can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia, where Irish immigration was significant during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The surname Betts is a testament to the rich history of the Irish people and their enduring legacy, as it continues to be passed down through generations and is embraced by individuals of Irish heritage around the world.
