The surname Coates is of Anglo-Saxon origin and is derived from the Old English word cot, meaning a small cottage or shelter. As a surname, Coates was initially used to describe someone who lived in or near a small cottage or had some association with such a dwelling. It is important to note that while Coates has Irish origins, it is primarily an English surname.
In terms of its Irish descent, the surname Coates likely arrived in Ireland during the 17th century when English and Scottish settlers migrated to the country. These settlers were often granted land as part of colonization efforts, and as a result, they brought their surnames with them. Over time, the Coates surname became established in various parts of Ireland, with families bearing the name found in counties such as Dublin, Galway, and Cork.
In Ireland, the Coates surname may have also assimilated with similar sounding Irish surnames, such as Coats or Cotes. Therefore, some individuals with an Irish background may have variations of the surname.
Today, the Coates surname can be found in numerous countries around the world, including Ireland, England, Scotland, the United States, and Canada, among others.
