The surname Carville, or its variant McCarville, has its roots in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Caireall, which means son of Caireall. The prefix Mac indicates son of, and Caireall is a personal name derived from the Old Irish word caireall, meaning courageous or valiant.
The McCarville family is believed to have originated in County Armagh, located in present-day Northern Ireland. The area was historically inhabited by the Irish Gaels and experienced significant political and social changes due to English colonization.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland endured a series of conflicts, including the Nine Years' War and the Plantation of Ulster, which resulted in the displacement and migration of many Irish families. Some McCarvilles likely relocated during this period, seeking better opportunities or as a result of forced evictions.
Over time, the McCarville surname spread to different parts of Ireland and beyond, particularly to countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to emigration during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, individuals with the Carville or McCarville surname can be found across the globe, often proudly maintaining their Irish heritage.
