The surname Needham has a rich history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English words "ned" meaning "need" and "ham" meaning "home" or "hamlet." It is believed that the surname first originated in the county of Derbyshire in England. The Needham family then migrated to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.

The Needhams played a significant role in the colonization of Ireland by the English. They were granted lands in various parts of the country, particularly in County Galway and County Westmeath. Over time, they became prominent landowners and were involved in local governance.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Needhams from Ireland emigrated to other parts of the world, mainly to North America and Australia. These migrations were often driven by economic hardship and opportunities for a better life. As a result, the Needham surname can be found in many English-speaking countries today.

The Needham name has also been associated with notable individuals throughout history. One such example is Sir Robert Needham, an English explorer who accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh on his expeditions to the Americas in the late 16th century. Another notable figure is John Needham, an Irish-born biologist who made significant contributions to the field of microbiology in the 18th century.

Overall, the surname Needham has a diverse and fascinating history, particularly within the context of Irish heritage. It has persevered over the centuries, carrying with it the legacy of the Needham family and their contributions to various fields.
