Thackeray Coat of Arms

The surname Thackeray or Thackery, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to its origins in medieval times.

The name Thackeray is derived from the Old English word "thæc," meaning thatch or roof covering. It was commonly used as a occupational name for someone who worked as a thatcher, someone skilled in covering roofs with thatch.

In Ireland, the surname Thackeray or Thackery is said to have been brought to the country by English settlers during the 17th century. These settlers were often involved in the colonization and plantation of Ireland, and they brought their surnames with them. It is believed that the Thackeray surname may have been anglicized from the Irish Gaelic surname "Ó Tóchairí," meaning "descendant of the thatcher."

Over time, the Thackeray or Thackery surname spread throughout Ireland, and many individuals with this surname can be found in various parts of the country today. It is worth noting that spelling variations of the surname, such as Thackery, are not uncommon, as the anglicization process sometimes led to different spellings.

Today, individuals with the Thackeray or Thackery surname can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diasporas, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
