The surname Strode has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic name Ó Stróid. The prefix "Ó" signifies "descendant of," while "Stróid" is derived from the word "Stród," meaning "stride" or "step." In Irish culture, surnames were often based on a person's occupation, characteristics, or the name of their ancestor. As a result, the surname Strode likely originated from someone who was known for their confident or purposeful stride.
The Strode family, of Irish descent, has a rich history dating back centuries. It is believed that they were originally from County Galway in western Ireland. Over time, some members of the Strode family migrated to other parts of Ireland, such as County Mayo and County Roscommon. The surname Strode can still be found in these regions today.
During the early 19th century, many Irish families, including the Strodes, emigrated to other countries in search of better opportunities. Some Strodes settled in the United States, particularly in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. Others migrated to countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, the Strode surname is found in various parts of the world, testament to the global reach of Irish migration.
