The surname McCready or McCreadie is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Riada, meaning "son of Riada." The name Riada is a personal name that was common in ancient Ireland.
The Mac Riada clan was a prominent family in Ireland, particularly in the province of Ulster. They were known for their warrior skills and played an important role in the history of the region. The clan's ancestral lands were in County Antrim, where they held significant power and influence.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced numerous invasions and conflicts. These turbulent times often led to changes in land ownership and the displacement of families. The Mac Riada clan faced similar challenges, and as a result, some members of the family migrated to other parts of Ireland, Scotland, and even further afield.
Today, descendants of the Mac Riada clan can be found worldwide, especially in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The surname McCready or McCreadie has various spellings due to historical changes in language and dialect.
As with many surnames, the meaning and significance of the name McCready or McCreadie have evolved over time. However, it remains a symbol of Irish heritage and the resilience of the Mac Riada clan.
