The surname Hyde has a rich history with roots in both England and Ireland. The surname itself is derived from the Old English term "hide," which refers to a measure of land usually seen as enough to support a single household.
In Ireland, the Hyde name was first seen in County Roscommon, in the Connacht province, where the family held a large family estate. The Hydes of County Roscommon are considered one of the fourteen 'Tribes of Galway', influential families in the city and county. The Irish Hydes are often associated with Douglas Hyde, the first President of Ireland, linguist, and scholar who was a leading figure in the Gaelic Revival.
The Hyde name was adopted by some in Ireland following the Norman invasion in the 12th century, but the majority of Hydes in Ireland can trace their lineage back to the Hydes of County Roscommon. Over time, the surname Hyde has been anglicized, and variations of the name have appeared, including Hide, Hides, and Hydes.
Thus, the Hyde surname has a deep-rooted connection to Irish history and society. Despite its English origins, it is significantly linked with the distinctive cultural and political history of Ireland.
