The surname Tross has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Troighthigh, which means "descendant of Troightheach." The Gaelic name itself is derived from the word "troightheach," which translates to "foot soldier" or "infantryman."
The Tross family is believed to have originated in County Kerry, in the southwestern part of Ireland. They were part of the powerful Eóganacht Raithlind clan, which had significant influence in the region. The clan was known for its military prowess and played a significant role in Irish history.
During the turbulent times in Ireland's history, many families were forced to anglicize their names to escape persecution or to assimilate into English-speaking communities. This likely led to the transformation of Ó Troighthigh to Tross.
Over time, members of the Tross family migrated to different parts of Ireland and beyond. Today, individuals with the surname Tross can be found in various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
