The surname Anstruther has its origins in Scotland, specifically in the region of Fife, where the town of Anstruther is located. The name is derived from the Old English words "an" meaning "one" and "stryther" meaning "stream," referring to the stream that ran through the town.
However, there are also instances of the Anstruther surname being of Irish descent. It is believed that some individuals with the surname Anstruther may have migrated from Scotland to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. This mass migration occurred when English and Scottish settlers were encouraged to move to Ireland and take over lands that had been confiscated from Irish landowners.
During this time, it is likely that some individuals with the surname Anstruther settled in Ireland, where their descendants continued to bear the name. It is important to note that the surname Anstruther of Irish descent is relatively rare, with the majority of individuals with this name being of Scottish origin.
Today, individuals with the surname Anstruther, whether of Scottish or Irish descent, can be found all over the world. They may have different family histories and cultural backgrounds, but they all share a common link to the town of Anstruther and its rich history.
