The surname Sprigg, also spelled Sprigge, has its roots in Ireland.
The name is derived from the Gaelic word "spréach," meaning "to scatter" or "to strew." This indicates that the original bearers of the surname were likely involved in the agricultural industry, particularly in the sowing or scattering of seeds.
The Sprigg family can be traced back to County Galway in western Ireland, where they were prominent landowners and farmers. Over time, some members of the family migrated to other parts of Ireland, such as County Mayo and County Sligo.
During the period of British colonization and the Plantation of Ireland, many Spriggs left Ireland for other countries, including England and America. They sought better opportunities and a new life away from the political and economic hardships of their homeland.
Today, individuals with the surname Sprigg can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in Ireland, England, the United States, and Canada. While the original meaning of the name may have been related to agriculture, its significance has evolved over time, and Sprigg is now a unique and identifiable surname associated with Irish heritage.
