The surname Mayo has a rich history, particularly among people of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Midhe," which means "son of Midhe." The term "Midhe" refers to a region in Ireland, now known as Meath, located in the province of Leinster. The surname Mayo is predominantly found in this region.
The Mayo family is believed to have ancient roots in Ireland, dating back to the 12th century. They were a prominent clan and held significant land and power in Meath. The name Mayo was widely used to distinguish the descendants of this influential lineage. Over time, descendants of the Mayo clan spread to other parts of Ireland and even migrated to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, during periods of emigration.
In addition to its association with the Mayo clan, the surname Mayo can also be traced to other origins. For example, it may be a variant of the Old English name "Mayhew," which means "hale" or "strong." This alternate origin is more common among individuals of English descent.
Today, the surname Mayo continues to be found worldwide, but it remains particularly prevalent among individuals of Irish heritage.
