The surname Handyside has its origins in Ireland. It is believed to be derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Easpuig," meaning "son of the servant of Bishop." The name evolved over time and eventually became anglicized to Handyside.
The Handyside family likely originated from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. They were part of the Gaelic Irish population that inhabited the region for centuries. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Ireland experienced significant political and social upheaval, including the Plantations and the Penal Laws. These events led to the displacement and persecution of many Irish families.
Some members of the Handyside family may have emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, such as Scotland, England, or the United States, seeking better opportunities or escaping religious and political persecution. Over time, the surname Handyside spread and became more common in these areas.
Today, individuals with the surname Handyside can still be found in various parts of the world, particularly in the countries with historical Irish connections. Many descendants of the Handyside family have embraced their Irish heritage and maintain an interest in their genealogy and history.
