The surname Budge has a rich history, particularly in Irish descent. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Mac Biadhtaigh," meaning "son of Biadhtaigh." The Gaelic name itself translates to "food provider" or "one who distributes food." This suggests that the original bearer of the name might have been involved in the hospitality industry or had a role related to food provision.
During the medieval period, the Mac Biadhtaigh clan was located in County Donegal, in the north-west of Ireland. They were part of the ruling elite and held positions of power and influence in the region. Over time, the Mac Biadhtaigh name evolved and was eventually anglicized to Budge, reflecting the influence of the English language and culture in Ireland.
It is worth noting that anglicization of surnames was a common practice during this period, as the English language and customs became more dominant. As a result, many Irish surnames underwent changes to make them more recognizable or easier to pronounce for English speakers. This process often involved altering the spelling or pronunciation of Gaelic names.
Today, the surname Budge can still be found among people of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mac Biadhtaigh clan and their contributions to Irish society.
