The surname Adair has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to Gaelic times. The name is derived from the Gaelic word adaire, which means a flame or a fire. It is believed that the Adair family originated from the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, located in what is now modern-day Scotland.
During the 17th century, many Scottish families, including the Adairs, migrated to Ireland as part of the Plantation of Ulster. This was a government-backed colonization scheme that aimed to settle Protestant English and Scottish families in the predominantly Catholic province. The Adairs settled primarily in County Antrim, in the northeast of Ireland.
The Adair family became prominent landowners and played a significant role in the history of the region. They acquired vast estates and built prominent houses, such as the Adair Manor. The family also had strong military connections, with several members serving in the British Army.
Over time, the Adair surname spread across Ireland and beyond, with many descendants emigrating to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the surname Adair is still relatively common among individuals of Irish descent, and many take pride in their ancestral ties to the Adair family and their rich history in Ireland.
