The surname Draper has its origins in England, where it was a occupational name for someone who was a maker or seller of cloth. The word "draper" comes from the Old French word "drapier" which means "cloth merchant". The role of a draper was important during the medieval period, as they were responsible for sourcing and distributing textiles.

Over time, the name Draper became established in Ireland due to English colonization and the migration of English settlers to the country. Many English families, including those with the surname Draper, settled in Ireland during the 16th and 17th centuries.

As a result, the Draper surname is found in various parts of Ireland, with concentrations in counties such as Dublin, Cork, and Tipperary. The Irish Drapers were often involved in the textile industry, continuing the tradition of their English ancestors.

It is important to note that the surname Draper in Ireland may also have Gaelic origins. In some cases, the Irish name Ó Dreapar (meaning "descendant of Dreapar") is anglicized as Draper. This suggests that some Drapers in Ireland may have Gaelic ancestry rather than English.

Overall, the history of the Draper surname in Ireland is a combination of English colonization and Gaelic ancestry, reflecting the complex historical interactions between the two cultures.
