The surname Hope, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that ties back to the Emerald Isle's rich tapestry of cultural and social changes.

It was originally derived from the old Irish Gaelic O'Uchtraigh. The Gaelic prefix 'O' indicates 'grandson of' or 'descendant of', and Uchtraigh, translated into English, stands for 'the hospitable one'. However, during the anglicization process of Irish surnames, during the 16th and 17th centuries, it was often rendered phonetically as Hope.

The Hope family was part of the wider group of clans belonging to the Oriel Septs, who were dominant in counties Armagh and Monaghan, along the border of Northern Ireland. The upheaval caused by the Cromwellian invasion forced many families, including the Hopes, to migrate to other parts of Ireland and often abroad.

As a result, the surname Hope also became established in Scotland and Northern England. It then further disseminated to the Americas, Australia, and other parts of the world during the Irish diaspora of the 18th and 19th centuries. Despite its geographical spread, the Hope surname remains a vibrant part of Irish heritage.
