The surname McGrath or McGraw is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Craith, which means son of Craith. The name Craith itself is believed to have originated from the Old Irish word craech, meaning rusty or rugged. The McGrath/McGraw family is associated with County Tipperary and County Waterford in Ireland, and they were historically a powerful clan in the province of Munster.
The McGraths were known for their involvement in the political and religious affairs of Ireland, and many held positions of power and influence. Throughout history, the McGrath family has been associated with the Catholic Church, and several members of the clan were bishops and archbishops. The family also had a strong military tradition and were known for their bravery in battle.
During the 19th century, many McGrath/McGraws emigrated from Ireland to escape poverty and seek new opportunities in the United States and other countries. As a result, the surname is now found in many parts of the world, particularly in areas with large Irish immigrant populations. Today, the McGrath/McGraw name continues to be a symbol of Irish heritage and resilience.
