The surname Duff, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that dates back many centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic word "dubh," which means "dark" or "black." This surname was originally given to individuals with dark hair or complexion. The Duff clan, or "sept," originated in the region of County Donegal in Ireland. They were known as the "Clann Duibh," which translates to "the children of the dark one." Over time, the name evolved and became anglicized to Duff. The Duff clan played a significant role in Irish history. They were a powerful family and were known for their military prowess and leadership. They were often involved in territorial disputes and battles, defending their land against rival clans and invaders. During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Duff families were displaced from their ancestral lands and forced to move to other parts of Ireland or emigrate to other countries. This resulted in the spread of the Duff surname to different regions, including Scotland and England. Today, the Duff surname can be found worldwide, with a significant concentration in Ireland, Scotland, and other English-speaking countries. Many individuals with the surname Duff take pride in their Irish heritage and continue to preserve their ancestral traditions. The name Duff has become a symbol of strength, resilience, and a rich cultural history.
