The surname Wedge is of English origin, derived from the Middle English word "wedge," meaning a wooden block used for splitting logs. However, there are also instances of the Wedge surname of Irish descent.
During the Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Irish people emigrated to various parts of the world, including England. It is likely that some Irish individuals with the surname Wedge settled in England, leading to the presence of the name in both English and Irish genealogical records.
The Irish variant of the Wedge surname may have roots in the Gaelic language. In Irish, the surname may have been anglicized from variations such as "Mac Giolla Dhuibh," which translates to "son of the black-haired servant" in English.
It is also possible that the Wedge surname among the Irish population is a result of intermarriage between English settlers and Irish locals. Over the centuries, many English families settled in Ireland, particularly during periods of English colonization. This blending of English and Irish heritage could have contributed to the presence of the Wedge surname among the Irish population.
