The surname Savage has deep roots in Ireland, tracing back to ancient times. The name is of Anglo-Norman origin and was introduced to Ireland by the Norman settlers who arrived in the 12th century. The Irish Gaelic equivalent of the name is "Mac An tSábháisigh," which means "son of the wise one" or "son of the knowledgeable one." It is believed that the original Norman settlers adopted the Gaelic form of the name, eventually Anglicizing it to Savage over time.
The Savage family quickly established themselves as a prominent and influential clan in Ireland. They held significant lands and titles, particularly in County Down and County Antrim. The Savages were known for their military prowess and played important roles in various conflicts throughout Irish history, including the Nine Years' War and the Williamite War.
Over the centuries, the Savage family spread to other parts of Ireland, including Dublin and Cork. They continued to hold positions of power and influence and were actively involved in politics, law, and other notable professions.
Today, the surname Savage is still relatively common in Ireland, especially in the aforementioned counties. Many individuals with the Savage surname can be found all over the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora populations, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The name carries with it a rich history and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Savage family in Ireland.
