The surname Wilder, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is derived from the Old English word "wilde" or "wylde," meaning "wild" or "untamed." It was originally used as a nickname for someone who possessed a wild or untamed nature. Over time, this nickname evolved into a surname, becoming more commonly used as a hereditary family name.
In Ireland, the Wilder surname can be traced back to the medieval period. Irish surnames typically originated from the family's patriarchal or occupational names, and in some cases, from the physical characteristics or personal attributes of individuals.
The Wilder surname is believed to have been brought to Ireland by English settlers who arrived during the Norman invasion of the 12th century. These settlers established themselves in different parts of Ireland and assimilated into the local culture, adopting Irish surnames.
Throughout history, families bearing the Wilder surname have spread across various parts of Ireland, including counties such as Cork, Dublin, and Kerry. Over time, some Wilder families may have anglicized their name to align with English naming customs.
Today, individuals with the surname Wilder can be found worldwide, including in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries where Irish communities have settled. The name continues to be passed down through generations, keeping the legacy of the Wilder family alive.
