The surname Close has its roots in Ireland and has an interesting history. It is derived from the Gaelic word "Cluas" which means "ear" and was originally used as a nickname for someone with prominent ears. Over time, it evolved into a surname and became associated with families who possessed this physical characteristic.

The Close surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, including Ulster, Leinster, and Munster. In Ulster, it is particularly associated with County Antrim and County Londonderry.

During the 17th century, Ireland experienced significant upheaval with the arrival of English and Scottish settlers. Many native Irish families, including those with the surname Close, were dispossessed of their lands and forced to move or change their surnames. Some Close families may have anglicized their name to "Clowes" or "Closs" during this period.

In modern times, the Close surname is still found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. The name has also undergone variations and spellings, including Clouse, Clows, and Cluas.

Today, those with the surname Close can take pride in their Irish heritage and the unique history associated with their name.
