The surname Read I, particularly of Irish descent, is an interesting one with a rich history.

The name Read originated from the Old English word "ræ¯d," meaning counsel or advice. It was a common occupational surname given to someone who was known for giving wise counsel or guidance.

In Ireland, the Read surname has ancient roots. It is believed to have been brought to the country by Viking invaders during their raids in the 9th and 10th centuries. Over time, the name evolved and was anglicized to Read.

During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Norman families with the surname Read settled in the region. These Norman settlers intermarried with the local Gaelic population, further contributing to the spread of the surname in Ireland.

As the Read family grew and prospered in Ireland, different branches emerged. Some Read families became prominent landowners and held positions of power and influence. Others migrated to different parts of the country, spreading the surname to various regions.

Today, the Read surname is still found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants have settled. It serves as a reminder of the diverse cultural and historical influences that have shaped Irish society.
