The surname Welsh is primarily associated with individuals of Welsh descent. However, there are cases where it can also be of Irish origin. The history of the surname Welsh of Irish descent can be traced back to the early medieval period in Ireland. During this time, surnames were primarily developed as a means of distinguishing individuals within a clan or sept. The surname Welsh is believed to have derived from the Old Irish name "Breasal," which means "strife" or "contention."
As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Welsh have evolved over time. In some instances, the name may have been anglicized to Walsh, particularly during the period of English influence in Ireland. This change in spelling is likely due to the English phonetic pronunciation of the name.
It is important to note that not all individuals with the surname Welsh of Irish descent can trace their ancestry directly to Ireland. Irish migration to other countries, particularly during times of economic hardship, has resulted in the dispersal of Irish surnames to various parts of the world. Therefore, individuals with the surname Welsh of Irish descent may be found in places such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, among others.
