The surname Ward has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Mac an Bhaird, which means "son of the bard." The bards were highly respected poets and musicians in ancient Ireland, and this surname was given to families who were descendants of these bards.

The Ward surname can be traced back to the medieval period in Ireland. The Mac an Bhaird family were known for their literary and musical talents, and they held a prominent position in Gaelic society. They were often employed by the ruling chiefs as poets and musicians, and they played an important role in preserving and passing down the oral traditions and history of the Irish people.

During the English conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Gaelic families, including the Mac an Bhaird, were displaced and their lands were confiscated. As a result, many members of the Mac an Bhaird family anglicized their surname to Ward in order to assimilate into English society and to retain their land and status.

Today, the Ward surname is one of the most common surnames in Ireland and can be found throughout the country. Many individuals with the surname Ward can trace their ancestry back to the Mac an Bhaird family and take pride in their Irish heritage.
