The surname South has its origins in Ireland and is primarily of English and Anglo-Norman descent. The name is derived from the Old English word "suth" meaning "south," indicating that the original bearers of this surname lived in the southern part of a particular region or were associated with it in some way.
During the early medieval period, many Anglo-Norman families migrated to Ireland following its invasion by the Normans in the 12th century. These Anglo-Norman settlers intermarried with the Irish population, leading to the adoption of English surnames by some Irish families, including South. As a result, the surname South became more common among people of Irish descent.
Over time, the descendants of these Irish South families spread throughout the country. The surname can be found in various counties in Ireland, such as Cork, Waterford, and Wexford. It is also worth noting that the South family name has variations, including Sowth, Sowthman, and Southman.
As with many surnames, the meaning of South may have evolved and changed over the centuries. Today, people with the surname South can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to migration and emigration patterns.
