The surname Carrier is of French origin, derived from the word "charrier," which means "to carry" or "to transport." The name originally referred to someone who worked as a transporter or a carrier of goods. It is believed that this surname was brought to Ireland by the Normans during the 12th century.
Over time, the surname Carrier became anglicized and adopted by Irish families, particularly in the northern regions of Ireland. It is likely that these families had French ancestry or had close connections with the Norman settlers. The Carrier surname can also be found in other parts of Ireland, including County Tipperary and County Waterford.
In Ireland, carriers played an essential role in the transportation of goods, particularly during the medieval period. They were responsible for transporting goods by horse-drawn carts or wagons from one place to another. This occupation was prevalent in rural areas, where agriculture and trade were the main sources of livelihood. As a result, the Carrier surname became associated with families involved in this line of work.
Today, the Carrier surname is relatively uncommon in Ireland, but its legacy continues through the descendants of those who carried this name.
