The surname Pettigrew has its roots in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Pháidín," meaning "son of little Patrick." The prefix "Mac" indicates "son of," and "Pháidín" is a diminutive form of the name Patrick.
The name Patrick itself comes from the Latin name Patricius, which means "noble" or "patrician." It was a popular name among the Irish, and many individuals were known as Patrick or had the name as part of their surname.
The surname Pettigrew is most commonly found in Northern Ireland, particularly in County Tyrone. It is believed that the origin of the name can be traced back to Clan Maclachlan in Scotland. The Mac Pháidín branch of the clan migrated to Ireland and established themselves there.
Throughout history, individuals with the surname Pettigrew have held various occupations, including farmers, laborers, and tradesmen. They have been part of the fabric of Irish society, contributing to the local communities and culture.
