The surname Kenworthy has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name is believed to have originated from the Old English phrase "ken worthig," which means "the dwelling of those who know." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were knowledgeable or wise individuals.
The Kenworthy family can be traced back to the early 17th century in County Mayo, Ireland. It is likely that they were part of the Anglo-Irish community, which consisted of English settlers and their descendants who had established themselves in Ireland. The Kenworthy surname may have been adopted by a family that had English origins, but had been living in Ireland for several generations.
During the 19th century, Ireland experienced significant social and political changes. The Kenworthy family, like many others, may have faced challenges and hardships during this time, including the Great Famine, which resulted in mass emigration from Ireland. It is possible that some members of the Kenworthy family left Ireland for better opportunities in other countries, such as the United States or Australia.
Today, the surname Kenworthy can still be found among people of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in various parts of the world. It serves as a reminder of the family's history and the challenges they may have faced in their journey from Ireland to new lands.
