The surname Wade has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Uaid," meaning son of Uaid, which itself is a variant of the name Adam.
The Wade family has ancient roots in Ireland, with their origins dating back to the early medieval period. They were originally a sept of the larger O'Connell clan, who were prominent in County Kerry. As the O'Connells descended from the legendary King Niall of the Nine Hostages, the Wade family can trace their lineage back to this illustrious ancestor.
Over time, the Wades spread throughout Ireland, with notable branches in counties Clare, Galway, and Cork. They were known for their bravery and valor in battle, often serving as warriors and knights.
During the turbulent times of English colonization in Ireland, the Wades were actively involved in the resistance against the English Crown. Many of them fought in the various Irish rebellions, including the famous 1798 Rebellion led by the United Irishmen. They were strong advocates for Irish independence and played a significant role in the fight for freedom.
Today, the surname Wade is still found in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. It is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of the Irish people.
