The surname Bower, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that traces back to ancient times. The name itself has various origins and meanings.
One possible derivation is from the Old English word "bur," meaning "dweller" or "inhabitant." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were either farmers or people living near a bower, which was a small dwelling or shelter.
Another possibility is that the name Bower originated as a patronymic surname, meaning it was derived from the name of an ancestor. In this case, it could have been derived from "Bowyer," a medieval occupational name for a person who made or used bows.
In Ireland, the surname Bower is often anglicized from the Gaelic name Ó Buadhaigh, which means "descendant of Buadhach," a personal name derived from the word "buadh," meaning "victory." The Bower family in Ireland is primarily associated with County Kildare.
