The surname Wright has ancient origins and is found in various countries, including Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English word "wryhta," which means "a worker" or "a craftsman."
In Ireland, the surname Wright is primarily associated with the Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived in the 12th century. These settlers were skilled craftsmen who played a significant role in the development of Ireland's infrastructure and industries. They were responsible for constructing castles, churches, bridges, and other important structures.
Over time, the name Wright became anglicized in Ireland, and variations such as "Wraithe" and "Wrightson" emerged. The Irish Wrights spread throughout the country, primarily in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast. Many members of this surname were engaged in various trades, including carpentry, blacksmithing, and stonemasonry.
During the Great Famine in the 19th century, several Irish people with the surname Wright emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, in search of better opportunities. Today, descendants of these Irish immigrants can still be found in these countries, carrying on the surname's legacy. The Wright surname continues to be a testament to the skills and craftsmanship of the Irish people throughout history.
