The surname Drew has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent.
The name is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Droighneáin, which means "descendant of Droighneán." The Gaelic name itself is believed to have originally been a personal name, possibly meaning "blackthorn."
The Drew surname first appeared in Ireland in the 13th century and was primarily found in County Cork. The family is thought to have been of Norman origin, with records indicating that they arrived in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century.
Over time, the Drew family expanded and spread throughout different regions of Ireland. They became associated with various professions, such as farming, blacksmithing, and trading. The name also underwent slight variations in spelling, including Druhan and Drogheda.
During the Irish diaspora in the 19th and 20th centuries, many individuals with the surname Drew emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, seeking better opportunities and escaping economic hardship. Today, the Drew surname can be found in various parts of the world, but it still maintains its Irish roots and heritage.
