Kendrick Coat of Arms

The surname Kendrick, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ceandearg, meaning "red-headed chief" or "chief of the red fortress." This name was often given to a person with red hair or someone who held a prominent position within their community.

The Kendrick surname first emerged in Ireland during the medieval period. The family was known to be part of the Gaelic nobility and held significant land and power. They were often associated with counties such as Limerick, Tipperary, and Clare.

During the 17th century, Ireland went through a turbulent time with the colonization efforts of the English, leading to the plantation of Ulster. Many Irish families, including the Kendricks, were forced to relocate or faced persecution. Some Kendricks migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others chose to emigrate to America and other countries in search of better opportunities.

Today, the Kendrick surname can be found across the world, with many individuals tracing their roots back to Ireland. It is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Irish people, who have managed to preserve their heritage despite the challenges they faced throughout history.
