The surname Garth has its roots in Ireland, although its origins can be traced back to the Old Norse language. The name derives from the word "garšr," which means "enclosure" or "yard" in Norse. It is believed that the surname Garth was brought to Ireland by Viking settlers during their invasions in the 9th and 10th centuries.
Over time, the name Garth became anglicized, adopting different variations such as "Gart" or "Gorth" depending on the region. The majority of individuals with the surname Garth in Ireland can be found in the provinces of Ulster and Leinster.
In Irish history, surnames were often used to distinguish different families or clans. The Garth surname likely originated as a way to identify members of a particular family who resided near an enclosure or a walled area. These enclosures were commonly used for protection or as boundaries for farming land.
As with many surnames, the meaning and usage of Garth might have varied over time, and additional research into specific family histories can provide more insights into the meaning and significance of the name for those of Irish descent.
