The surname Irving has its origins in both Scotland and Ireland. For those of Irish descent, the surname can be traced back to the Gaelic name "O'hEireamhóin," which means "descendant of Eireamhón." Eireamhón is believed to be a personal name derived from the word "éirí," meaning "to rise" or "to go up." It is thought that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a hill or a rising place.
The Irish branch of the Irving family can be found mainly in the northern counties of Ireland, such as Antrim and Down. Over time, some members of the family migrated to Scotland, where the surname was anglicized to Irving.
In Scotland, the surname Irving is associated with the Border region, particularly Dumfriesshire. The family has a long history in the area and was known for being prominent landowners and merchants. Several notable individuals with the surname Irving have emerged from Scotland, including the writer Washington Irving.
Today, descendants of the Irish Irving family can still be found both in Ireland and around the world. The surname continues to be a testament to the rich history and heritage of those of Irish descent.
