The surname Keogh, and its variant McKeogh, traces its origins to Ireland and has a rich history among people of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic word MacEochaidh, which means son of Eochaidh. Eochaidh was a popular Irish given name, derived from the Old Irish ech, meaning horse, and aidh, meaning fire.

The Keogh clan originated in County Meath, in the eastern part of Ireland, where they were known as a prominent Gaelic sept or family group. They were renowned as horse breeders and trainers, a highly respected occupation in ancient Ireland.

As the Keogh family spread throughout Ireland, they became associated with other counties such as Kildare, Dublin, and Wicklow. Over time, the prefix Mac (meaning son of) was often dropped, resulting in the surname Keogh.

During the era of British colonization, many Irish families, including the Keoghs, faced oppression and land confiscation. This led to a significant wave of Irish emigration, particularly to North America. As a result, Keogh and McKeogh became common surnames among Irish immigrants who settled in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Today, the name Keogh/McKeogh continues to be cherished by individuals of Irish heritage, serving as a reminder of their ancestral roots and the enduring spirit of the Irish people.
