The surname Gough is of Anglo-Saxon origin and first emerged in England. However, the Gough surname also has a significant presence in Ireland, particularly in the counties of Kerry and Kilkenny. The name Gough is derived from the Old English personal name Goda, which means good, and the suffix -ing, which denotes son of. Therefore, the name Gough originally meant son of Goda or son of the good one.
The Gough family can trace their roots back to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, when a member of the family is believed to have settled in Ireland. Over the centuries, the Gough family became prominent members of Irish society, with several individuals achieving notable positions in politics, the military, and the arts.
The Gough surname has also been associated with several notable individuals in Ireland, including Sir Richard Gough, an influential 17th-century Irish landowner, and Sir Hugh Gough, a distinguished British military commander who served in India during the 19th century.
Today, the Gough surname continues to be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants have settled. The name Gough is a proud symbol of Irish heritage and history.
