The surname Carthew has its origins in Ireland, with a rich and complex history. It is believed that the name Carthew is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Artúir, meaning son of Arthur. The Mac Artúir clan was associated with County Limerick and County Cork in the southern part of Ireland.
The name Carthew has been found in historical records dating back to the 17th century in Ireland. During this time, many Irish surnames were anglicized as a result of English colonization and the imposition of English culture and language on the Irish population. This may have contributed to the transformation of Mac Artúir into Carthew.
The Carthew family likely played a role in the social and political landscape of Ireland, as many Irish surnames were associated with specific clans and families who held power and influence in their local communities. Over time, the name Carthew may have spread to other parts of Ireland and beyond as members of the family migrated and established themselves in new regions.
Today, the surname Carthew is found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora populations.
