The surname Eckel has its origins in Ireland, and it is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Eachail, which means son of Eachaidh. The Mac Eachail clan was known for its involvement in the ancient and medieval history of Ireland. The name can be traced back to the county of Roscommon in the province of Connacht, where the family held a seat as a sept of O'Kelly.
The surname Eckel is a patronymic name, meaning it was originally based on the father's name. Over time, the Mac Eachail name evolved into various forms, including MacKeal, MacKiel, and MacKeil. With the spread of the name, variations such as Eakle, Eckle, and Eckel also emerged.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, many Irish people with the surname Eckel emigrated to the United States and other countries, often as a result of the Great Famine and economic hardship in Ireland. As a result, the name became more widespread and has become associated with Irish heritage. Today, descendants of the Eckel family can be found across the world, with a strong connection to their Irish roots.
