Carruthers is a surname that originates from Scotland, but it also has connections to Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic word Carrothers, which means son of Ruther. Ruther is believed to be a variation of the name Roderick, which was a popular name among the Scottish and Irish.
During the 12th century, many Scottish families moved to Ireland to escape political unrest and famine in their homeland. It is believed that the Carruthers family was one of those families. The family settled in County Fermanagh, which is located in the northern part of Ireland. Over time, the Carruthers family became well-respected members of the community.
In the 17th century, many Irish families began to move back to Scotland, and the Carruthers family was among them. They settled in the Dumfries and Galloway region, which is located in the southwest of Scotland. There, they became a prominent family and were known for their involvement in politics and the military.
The Carruthers family crest features a boar's head with a dagger through it, which symbolizes bravery and protection. The motto of the family is Promptus et Fidelis, which means Ready and Faithful. Today, the Carruthers surname can be found all over the world, with many descendants living in Scotland, Ireland, England, Canada, and the United States.
