The surname Meath, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to ancient times. The name itself is derived from the Irish Gaelic word "Mide," which refers to a historic kingdom in central Ireland.
The kingdom of Meath was one of the most powerful and influential kingdoms in Ireland during the medieval period. It was ruled by the High Kings of Ireland, who were traditionally crowned at the Hill of Tara, located in County Meath.
Over time, the name Mide evolved into Meath and became associated with families who hailed from this region. Many individuals who bore the surname Meath were likely descendants of the ruling families of the kingdom.
During the medieval period, Ireland underwent significant political, social, and economic changes. The Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century brought new influences and surnames to the country. As a result, some individuals with the surname Meath may have adopted it during this time, either as a way to differentiate themselves or because they were associated with the region.
Today, the surname Meath is relatively rare and is primarily found among individuals of Irish heritage. It serves as a reminder of the historic kingdom of Meath and the influential families who once ruled there.
