George is a surname of Irish descent that has a rich and fascinating history. The name is derived from the given name George, which itself has Greek origins. The name George was popularized in Ireland during the medieval period, when it was introduced by the Normans.
During this time, the Normans had a significant influence on Irish society, including the introduction of new names and surnames. The surname George likely originated as a patronymic, meaning it was derived from the given name George and used to identify the descendants of someone named George. Over time, this patronymic surname became fixed and passed down through generations.
In Ireland, the surname George has been found predominantly in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Down. The strong presence of the surname in Ulster suggests that it may have originated there and spread to other parts of the country.
As with many surnames of Irish descent, the spelling and pronunciation of George may have varied over time and between different regions. Variations of the surname include Georges, Georgee, and Georgeson. Today, individuals with the surname George can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
