The surname Struthers has its origins in Scotland, where it was derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "Sruthair," meaning "one who lives near a stream or river." However, there is also a significant presence of the surname in Ireland, particularly in County Antrim.
During the 17th century, many Scots migrated to Northern Ireland as part of the Plantation of Ulster, a scheme that aimed to populate the region with Protestant settlers. It is believed that some individuals with the surname Struthers were among these Scottish immigrants.
Over time, the Struthers name became integrated into Irish culture, acquiring Irish Gaelic influences. The pronunciation may have also evolved, reflecting the unique characteristics of the Irish language.
In Ireland, the Struthers surname can be found primarily in County Antrim, where it has been passed down through generations. Many Struthers families in this region have a strong connection to the Presbyterian Church, reflecting their Scottish roots.
Today, individuals with the surname Struthers of Irish descent can be found not only in Ireland, but also in other parts of the world where Irish migration has occurred, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
