The surname Green is of English and Irish origin, with various interpretations associated with it. In the specific context of Irish descent, the surname Green most commonly originated as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó hUaineáin or Ó Cuilinn, meaning descendant of Uaineán or descendant of Cuileann.
The name Uaineán refers to a personal name derived from the word uaine, meaning green. It is believed that this name was originally given to someone who had a particular affinity for green landscapes or was associated with greenery in some way. The surname Green may also have derived from the Irish word cuileann, meaning holly, indicating a possible association with the holly tree or place names featuring holly trees.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish people adopted anglicized surnames to conform to English naming practices. This led to the adoption of the surname Green among individuals of Irish descent. Over time, the surname spread among Irish communities, both in Ireland and among Irish immigrants in other countries. Today, the surname Green is widespread among people of Irish heritage and can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in English-speaking countries.
