The surname "Carew" has a rich history, particularly in Irish descent. It is believed to be of Norman origin, derived from the Old French name "Carreau," meaning a "quarry" or "stony place." The first recorded instance of the surname in Ireland can be traced back to the 12th century, when Strongbow, the Norman conqueror, arrived in the country.
The Carew family played a prominent role in Irish history, becoming one of the most influential Anglo-Norman families. They were granted extensive lands in County Cork and County Waterford, where they built several castles, including Carew Castle in Wales.
Throughout the centuries, the Carew surname continued to flourish in Ireland. Notably, Sir Peter Carew, an important figure during the Tudor period, was instrumental in the colonization of Ireland by the English. He was granted large estates in Munster and played a significant role in the suppression of the Desmond Rebellions.
Over time, various branches of the Carew family emerged, with members holding positions of power and influence in Irish society. Today, the surname Carew is still found among Irish families, representing a proud legacy that spans centuries. The name's historical significance and continued presence highlight the lasting impact of the Carew surname on Irish heritage.
