The surname Dod or Dodd has a long history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English personal name "Dodda," which was a nickname for someone small and round. The name first appeared in England during the 11th century and eventually spread to Ireland.
During the medieval period, many English families migrated to Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. The Dod(d) surname became more prevalent in Ireland over time, especially in the northern regions. It is believed that some of the early Dod(d) settlers in Ireland were Anglo-Norman invaders who arrived in the 12th century.
The Dodd name has several variations, including Dodds and Dods, which are more commonly found in Scotland and northern England. In Ireland, the name is often associated with County Down, where many Dod(d) families settled.
Over the centuries, the Dod(d) surname has spread throughout Ireland and the Irish diaspora. Today, individuals with the Dod(d) surname can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish population, such as the United States, Australia, and Canada.
Overall, the history of the Dod or Dodd surname of Irish descent can be traced back to its origins in England, its migration to Ireland, and subsequent dispersion to other parts of the world.
