The surname Harris has its roots in Ireland, where it evolved from the Gaelic name Ó hEarchadha. The prefix Ó signifies "descendant of," while Earchadha is derived from the Gaelic word "eircheart," meaning "ploughman." This suggests that the early bearers of the Harris name were likely farmers or agricultural workers in ancient Ireland.

As with many Irish surnames, the Harris family history can be traced back to the ancient clans and tribes that inhabited the island. The Ó hEarchadha clan was primarily located in County Tipperary, in the province of Munster. Over time, members of the clan spread throughout Ireland, leading to the widespread use of the surname.

During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families anglicized their surnames to conform to English naming practices. This often involved dropping the Gaelic prefixes or adopting similar-sounding English surnames. As a result, the Ó hEarchadha clan began using the surname Harris.

In the United States, many Irish immigrants with the surname Harris arrived during the 19th century, particularly during the Irish Potato Famine. They settled in various parts of the country, bringing their Irish heritage and the Harris name with them. Today, the surname Harris is commonly found among individuals of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in Irish-American communities around the world.
