The surname Short, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name itself is derived from the Gaelic word "sor" or "siar," meaning "short" or "small."
The earliest recorded instance of the surname Short in Ireland can be found in County Tipperary in the 13th century. The family who held this surname were known as the O'Seoradain clan, meaning "descendants of the short one." They were a prominent Gaelic family in the region and held considerable land and influence.
Over time, the name O'Seoradain became anglicized to Short, as was common during the English rule in Ireland. This anglicization occurred through various processes, including mistranslation, mispronunciation, and even imposed changes by the English authorities.
As the centuries passed, the Short family spread throughout Ireland, primarily in counties such as Tipperary, Cork, and Dublin. They engaged in various occupations, including farming, trade, and military service. Some branches of the family also migrated to other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, where they contributed to the development of these nations.
Today, individuals with the surname Short, of Irish descent, can be found worldwide. They continue to celebrate their rich heritage, as well as contribute to their respective communities in various fields and professions.
