The surname Peckham, of Irish descent, traces its roots back to the ancient Gaelic language of Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic surname Ó Péicín, which translates to "descendant of Péicín." The name Péicín is thought to have originated from the personal name Péic, meaning "a small or short person."
The Peckham family can be traced back to the medieval period in Ireland. They were originally located in County Cork, primarily in the southwestern region of the island. Over time, the family spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Kerry and County Limerick.
During the 19th century, Ireland experienced a wave of emigration due to economic hardships and the Great Famine. Many Irish families, including those with the surname Peckham, sought better opportunities in other countries, particularly the United States and Canada.
Today, the surname Peckham can be found in various parts of the world, with a significant concentration in North America. The Irish descendants of the Peckham family have carried their heritage and surname with them, contributing to the diverse cultural fabric of their adopted countries.
