The surname Rait, also spelled as Reath, has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic word "riata," which means a "road" or a "track."
The Rait or Reath family is believed to have descended from the ancient Irish clan known as the O'Riada. The O'Riadas were a sept of the larger O'Catháin clan, which was based in County Cork.
The name Rait or Reath was predominantly found in the southern provinces of Ireland, particularly in Munster. Over time, variations of the surname emerged, such as Raitt and Rathe.
The Rait or Reath family played an important role in Irish history, with several notable individuals bearing the name. One of the most prominent figures was Aodh Ó Ríordáin, commonly known as Hugh O'Reardon. He was a famous poet and historian who lived in the 16th century. O'Reardon was known for his literary works and his deep knowledge of Irish culture and folklore.
Today, descendants of the Rait or Reath family can be found in various parts of the world, especially in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities. The surname continues to be passed down through generations, keeping alive the rich history and heritage of the Irish people.
