The surname Edgeworth has its origins in England, but it is also closely associated with Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English words ecg and wurth, which mean edge and enclosure or homestead, respectively. This suggests that the original bearers of the surname may have lived near an edge or boundary of a settlement.
The first recorded use of the surname Edgeworth was in the 13th century in the county of Berkshire, England. However, the Edgeworth family is more commonly associated with Ireland, where they have been prominent landowners and public figures for centuries. The most famous member of the Edgeworth family is the novelist Maria Edgeworth, who was born in 1768 in County Longford, Ireland.
The Edgeworth family owned extensive estates in Ireland, and their influence and wealth in the country were significant. They were known for their philanthropy, and they played a key role in the development of infrastructure and education in Ireland.
Today, the surname Edgeworth is still found in both England and Ireland, and it is also present in other English-speaking countries. The name continues to evoke a sense of heritage and history, particularly in relation to the Edgeworth family's legacy in Ireland.
