The surname Becket, of Irish descent, can be traced back to the early medieval period in Ireland. The origin of the name can be attributed to the Gaelic words Mac Beatha or Mac Beathadh, meaning son of life.
The Becket surname is believed to have been anglicized from its original form, as was common during British rule in Ireland. Many Irish families anglicized their names in order to fit into the English-speaking society. Hence, the Gaelic Mac Beatha became Becket.
The Becket family is believed to have originated in County Kerry, located in the southwestern part of Ireland. Over time, the surname spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Cork and County Limerick.
During the 19th century, a significant number of Irish people, including those with the Becket surname, emigrated to various parts of the world, particularly to North America, due to the devastating effects of the Great Famine. This led to the further spread of the surname outside of Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Becket can be found in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. Many descendants of the Becket family have managed to preserve their Irish heritage through traditions, cultural practices, and genealogical research.
