Dering Coat of Arms

The history of the Dering surname, particularly of Irish descent, dates back to ancient times. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "dearg," meaning "red." It was often used as a descriptive nickname for someone with red hair or a ruddy complexion. The surname Dering is predominantly found in Ireland, where it has been passed down through generations.

During the medieval period, Ireland experienced waves of English and Norman invasions. Many Irish families, including those with the surname Dering, adopted English or Norman names to assimilate into the ruling classes. This practice was particularly common among the Gaelic nobility, who sought to maintain their land and titles by aligning themselves with the invading forces. As a result, the Dering surname became more prevalent among the Anglo-Irish families who held positions of power and influence.

Over time, some Dering families migrated to other countries, such as England and the United States, due to economic or political reasons. These migrations contributed to the dispersion of the surname outside of Ireland. However, the Dering name remains closely associated with its Irish roots and continues to be passed down through Irish descendants around the world. Today, individuals with the surname Dering can trace their lineage back to Ireland and the rich history of the Gaelic culture.
