The surname Eldred or Eldridge has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name itself is of English origin, derived from the Old English personal name "Aethelred," meaning "noble counsel." The surname Eldred or Eldridge likely originated as a patronymic, denoting "son of Eldred."

However, the surname also has connections to Ireland. During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English settlers arrived, bringing their surnames with them. It is possible that some individuals with the surname Eldred or Eldridge settled in Ireland during this time. Over the centuries, the surname would have become anglicized to fit into the Irish language and culture.

Another possible origin of the surname Eldred or Eldridge in Ireland is through the plantation era of the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time, English and Scottish settlers, known as the Planters, were encouraged to settle in Ireland, particularly in the northern counties. The surname Eldred or Eldridge could have been introduced to Ireland through these settlers, who brought their English surnames with them.

In conclusion, while the surname Eldred or Eldridge is primarily of English origin, it is possible for individuals of Irish descent to have this surname due to historical migrations and anglicization of names.
