The surname Bird has roots in both English and Irish origins. However, when it comes to Irish descent, the history of the Bird surname is fascinating.
The name Bird in Ireland is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac an Éinigh," which translates to "son of the bird." This surname is often associated with the MacConraoi clan of County Donegal. The MacConraoi clan was known for their skills as falconers, hence the connection to the bird in their surname.
During the 17th century, when English colonization was prominent in Ireland, many Irish surnames were anglicized. The Mac an Éinigh surname underwent such a transformation and became Bird. This Anglicization of Irish surnames was an attempt to assimilate the Irish population into English culture.
Over time, the Bird surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in Ulster and Leinster. Many individuals with Irish ancestry bearing the Bird surname migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, contributing to the global diaspora of the Bird family.
Today, individuals with Irish descent bearing the surname Bird can be found in various parts of the world, proudly carrying their rich and diverse heritage.
