The surname Begg, of Irish descent, has a rich and interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic word beag, which means little or small. It is believed that the surname originated as a nickname for someone who was of small stature or had a diminutive or youthful appearance.
The Begg surname is predominantly found in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. In the early medieval period, the Begg clan was part of the larger O'Neill dynasty, one of the most powerful and influential Gaelic families in Ireland. The O'Neill rulers controlled vast territories and played significant roles in Irish history.
During the English conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, many Irish families, including the Beggs, experienced significant hardships. The colonization efforts led to land confiscations and forced migrations, which disrupted the traditional way of life.
Despite these challenges, the Begg surname endured, and many families bearing this name managed to preserve their Irish heritage and traditions. Over time, some Beggs emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to North America, seeking better opportunities and a fresh start.
Today, the Begg surname continues to be found worldwide, with descendants of Irish immigrants proudly carrying on their ancestors' legacy. The name serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of Irish people throughout history.
