The surname Epps or Epes, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic personal name "O' Eibhear," meaning the descendant of Eibhear.
During the medieval period in Ireland, the Epps or Epes family was associated with the province of Munster, which encompassed counties such as Cork, Kerry, and Limerick. They were part of the powerful Eoghanacht dynasties, who held significant influence in the region for many centuries.
As Ireland experienced English colonization and the subsequent plantations in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Epps or Epes family may have migrated to other parts of Ireland or even to other countries. Many Irish families sought new opportunities in America, and it is likely that some members of the Epps or Epes family made the journey across the Atlantic.
In America, the surname Epps or Epes has been recorded since the 17th century. It is believed that some of the early Irish settlers in Virginia might have carried this surname. Over time, the name may have evolved or changed in spelling due to various factors such as pronunciation differences or clerical errors.
Today, individuals with the surname Epps or Epes can be found in various parts of the United States, and they continue to carry on their Irish heritage through generations.
