The surname Maude or Mawhood, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Maodhóg," meaning "son of Maodhóg." Maodhóg was a personal name that originated from the Old Irish word "maedoc," which meant "little noble one."
The Mac Maodhóg clan was prominent in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. They were known for their leadership and warrior skills. It is believed that the surname Maude or Mawhood is an anglicized version of Mac Maodhóg.
During the medieval period, when English influence began to spread in Ireland, many Irish clans anglicized their surnames to fit in with the English society. This change often occurred in records and official documents.
Over time, the surname Maude or Mawhood spread to other parts of Ireland and even to other countries, as Irish people emigrated due to various reasons, such as the Great Famine in the 19th century.
Today, individuals with the surname Maude or Mawhood can still be found in Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world. The name carries with it a sense of pride in Irish heritage and a connection to the ancient Mac Maodhóg clan.
