The surname Gage has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic word "gáoch," meaning "swan." It is believed that the name was initially given as a nickname to someone who had a resemblance to a swan or possessed swan-like qualities.
The Gage name first appeared in the historical records of Ireland in the 16th century. The family is said to have originated in the province of Ulster, particularly in County Donegal, where they held significant land and were part of the local gentry.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Gage families migrated to other parts of Ireland, including Counties Mayo, Galway, and Cork. They were often involved in various industries, such as agriculture and trade.
In addition to their presence in Ireland, the Gage surname also spread to other countries, particularly England and the United States. In England, the Gage family became established in Suffolk, where they held the title of Viscount Gage. Meanwhile, in the United States, some Gage families can be traced back to early settlers who arrived in New England during the 17th century.
Today, the Gage surname is still found in Ireland and other parts of the world, with many descendants proudly preserving their Irish heritage.
