The surname Hendry, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name has its origins in Gaelic, specifically the name Mac Éinrí, meaning son of Henry. This suggests that the Hendry surname was originally an anglicized version of the Gaelic name.
The name Henry itself has an Anglo-Norman origin and was introduced to Ireland during the Norman invasion of the 12th century. Over time, it became a popular given name among the Norman settlers and eventually blended into Irish culture. As a result, many Irish families adopted surnames based on their paternal lineage, hence the rise of the surname Hendry.
The surname Hendry is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Down. The Hendry family likely originated from one or more individuals with the given name Henry, whose descendants adopted the surname to distinguish themselves from others.
Throughout history, individuals with the surname Hendry have played various roles in Irish society. They may have been landowners, farmers, merchants, or even involved in local politics. Today, the Hendry surname continues to be passed down through generations, serving as a connection to Ireland's rich cultural and historical heritage.
