The surname Bower has its roots in Ireland, a country with a rich history and diverse population. The name Bower is derived from the Old English word "bur," which means "dweller," or "a person who lived by a bower or cottage." The Bowers were likely to be found in rural areas, as the name suggests a connection to the land and nature.
The Bower surname is believed to have originated in the Anglo-Norman period, when the Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century. During this time, many Normans settled in Ireland, bringing with them their own surnames and naming practices. It is possible that some Bowers in Ireland today have Norman ancestry.
Over the centuries, the Bower name has spread throughout Ireland, with different branches of the family establishing themselves in various parts of the country. As with many surnames, variations in spelling have occurred over time, including Bowers, Bowyer, and Bawer.
Today, there are still individuals with the Bower surname living in Ireland, as well as those with Irish ancestry residing in other parts of the world. The name serves as a link to Ireland's past and the journey of its people, reflecting a shared heritage and sense of belonging.
