The surname Irwin has a rich history tracing back to its Irish roots. Irwin is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "O' hEireamhoin," which means ‘descendant of Eireamhan'. The original Gaelic form of the surname is associated with the county of Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
The history of the Irwin family goes back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the family living in the parish of Irvine in the county of Dumfries in southwestern Scotland. Early records from the 12th century show that the Irvine River in this area was originally named "Lar Avon," or West River.
Irish families began migrating to North America in the 19th century as a result of the Great Famine. Many Irish families bearing the Irwin surname settled in the United States and Canada. In North America, the families adapted and persevered, often Anglicizing their names to fit the new social climate.
Today, the surname Irwin is quite widespread and is carried by numerous individuals of Irish descent, reflecting the rich and diverse lineage of the Irwin family.
