The surname Hyde has its origins in Ireland and is of Anglo-Norman descent. It derives from the old English word "hide," which referred to a unit of land measurement. The name is believed to have been first brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Norman invaders in the 12th century.
The earliest recorded instance of the Hyde surname in Ireland dates back to the 13th century, where the family settled in County Cork. Over time, they spread throughout the country, establishing branches in various counties including Roscommon, Waterford, and Tipperary.
The Hydes played significant roles in Irish history and politics. One notable member of the family was Douglas Hyde, who became the first President of Ireland in 1938. Another prominent figure was Arthur Hyde, who served as Chief Justice of Ireland in the 18th century.
The Hyde surname is also associated with the Gaelic-Irish surname "Ó hÍde," meaning "descendant of Íde." The Ó hÍde family was part of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty and hailed from the western region of Ireland, particularly County Mayo.
Today, individuals with the surname Hyde can still be found throughout Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world.
