The surname Parr, of Irish descent, has a rich and intriguing history. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "pard," meaning "parish." This suggests that the early bearers of the surname Parr were likely associated with a specific parish or landholding.
The first recorded use of the surname Parr in Ireland dates back to the 12th century. The Parrs were primarily located in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Donegal and Derry. They were considered part of the native Gaelic aristocracy.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced waves of English and Scottish settlers. The Parrs, being of Gaelic origin, were likely impacted by these changes. In many cases, Gaelic surnames were anglicized to better assimilate into English-speaking society.
Over time, variations of the surname Parr emerged, including Parry and Perry. These variations can be attributed to regional dialects and English transliterations.
Today, descendants of the Parrs can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The surname Parr continues to be a symbol of Irish heritage and identity.
