The surname Sturgis or Sturges is of Irish descent, with its origins tracing back to medieval times. It is believed to have derived from the Gaelic name "O'Sturgaigh," which means "descendant of Sturgaigh." The prefix "O" indicates "descendant of," while "Sturgaigh" is thought to be a personal name or a place name that has since been lost to history.
The Sturgis or Sturges family is said to have originally hailed from County Wexford in southeastern Ireland. They were likely a prominent clan, as evidenced by the presence of their name in ancient Irish manuscripts and genealogical records. Over time, the family spread throughout Ireland and eventually beyond its shores, particularly during times of emigration.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, many Sturgis or Sturges families left Ireland for various reasons, such as the Great Famine and economic opportunities in other countries. As a result, the surname can now be found in places such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, among others.
Today, individuals with the surname Sturgis or Sturges can proudly trace their Irish heritage and connect with their ancestral roots. The name serves as a reminder of the family's history and the path they took to establish themselves in new lands.
