The surname Hare, including its variant O'Hare, has a rich history rooted in Irish ancestry. The O'Hare variation is an Anglicized form of the old Gaelic name "Ó hÍr," with "Ó" denoting "descendant of," and "Ír," a diminutive of "Ir," meaning "the tall one." This suggests that the original bearer of the name was a tall ancestor from whom the descendants took their name.

The O'Hares were known to be a sept of the ancient and prominent Dal Fiatach dynasty, which ruled the over-kingdom of Ulaid in northeastern Ireland in medieval times. The family originally hailed from County Down and was influential in that area. With the Anglicization of Irish names during the English governance of Ireland, the prefix "O'" was often dropped, leading to the simpler form, "Hare."

The surname has evolved through centuries, with many O'Hares reclaiming the original form of their name after Irish independence, while others have continued to use "Hare." Additionally, due to emigration, the name has spread throughout the English-speaking world, including to the United States, Canada, and Australia, where it has been borne by numerous individuals of Irish descent. The history of the Hare and O'Hare surnames thus reflects a larger story of Irish identity and its transformations through time.
