The surname Sandby has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Ó Seanadaigh," meaning the descendant of Seanadach, which itself is derived from the word "sean," meaning old or wise. The Sandby family likely originated in the province of Connacht in western Ireland.
During the medieval period, Ireland was under English rule, and many Gaelic names were anglicized to make them easier to pronounce and spell for the English authorities. This anglicization process resulted in the surname Sandby being adopted by the family.
Over time, members of the Sandby family migrated from Ireland to various parts of the world, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. These migrations were often influenced by factors such as economic opportunities, political events, or the search for a better life.
Today, individuals with the surname Sandby can be found in different parts of the world, but they often maintain a connection to their Irish heritage. Some may have traced their family lineage back to specific regions in Ireland, while others may have embraced Irish culture and traditions.
Although the surname Sandby has its roots in Ireland, it has now become a global name, representing the diverse diaspora of the Sandby family.
