The surname Orr has its origins in Ireland, and it is derived from the Gaelic name Ó hÓdha, meaning "descendant of Ódha." The name Ódha itself is thought to be a variation of the Old Norse name Oddr, meaning "point" or "spear." This suggests a possible Viking influence on the surname's origin. The Orr name can be traced back to the ancient territory of Ulster in Northern Ireland. It is believed that the first bearers of the name were a sept of the powerful O'Neill clan, who were one of the most prominent ruling families in Ireland during medieval times. The Orrs were originally located in County Tyrone, where they held land and played significant roles in local affairs. Over time, some branches of the family migrated to other parts of Ireland, including County Antrim and County Down. Like many Irish surnames, the spelling of Orr has evolved over the centuries due to changes in pronunciation and English-language influence. Variations of the name include Oar, Ore, Oarre, and Oer. Today, the surname Orr is still relatively common in Northern Ireland and is also found in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants have settled. Many Orrs have made notable contributions in various fields, including politics, sports, and the arts. The Orr ancestral heritage is an enduring part of Irish history.
