The surname Lower has its origins in Ireland, with a history that can be traced back to ancient times. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "luachair," which means "rushes" or "sedges." In ancient Ireland, rushes were commonly used to thatch roofs and make mats, so it is likely that the name was initially given to someone who worked with or lived near these materials.
As the centuries passed, the surname Lower spread throughout different regions of Ireland. It is believed that families with the surname Lower were primarily found in counties such as Mayo, Roscommon, and Clare. The name likely originated in the western parts of Ireland, where the rush-rich landscapes provided ample opportunities for people to engage in the associated trades.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families anglicized their surnames to make them more acceptable to the ruling English authorities. This may explain why the original Gaelic name "Luachair" evolved into the surname Lower.
Over time, individuals with the surname Lower migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, people with the surname Lower can be found in various countries, maintaining their Irish heritage and contributing to the diverse fabric of their respective communities.
