Mahewe Coat of Arms

The surname Mahewe or Mayhew is of Irish origin and has an interesting history. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Taidhg," which translates to "son of Tadhg." Tadhg, in turn, is a personal name that means "poet" or "philosopher." The Mac Taidhg family was a prominent sept (clan) in Ireland, particularly in the province of Connacht. They were known for their involvement in the literary and poetic spheres, as well as their musical talents. The clan's influence extended to the areas of Roscommon, Mayo, and Galway. Over time, the anglicized version of Mac Taidhg, which became Mahewe or Mayhew, was adopted by members of the family. This anglicization was a common practice during the period when the English language was gaining prominence in Ireland. Many bearers of the Mahewe or Mayhew surname migrated to other countries, particularly to North America, during the Irish diaspora. They brought their rich cultural heritage and contributed to the development of their adopted countries. Today, individuals with the Mahewe or Mayhew surname can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They continue to cherish their Irish roots and take pride in their ancestral lineage.
