The surname Price has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Welsh name ap Rhys, meaning "son of Rhys." The Welsh form of the name, ap Rhys, eventually became ap Rice, and over time, the "ap" was dropped, leaving the surname Rice. In Ireland, the surname Rice was anglicized to Price.
The Price family can trace their roots back to the ancient Celtic tribes that inhabited the British Isles. They were likely descendants of the Welsh who migrated to Ireland during the medieval period.
Throughout history, the Price surname has had notable individuals associated with it. One such person is Owen Price, a prominent 16th-century Irish bishop. Another notable figure is Sir Uvedale Price, an influential landscape gardener and writer in the 18th century.
The Price family has spread across Ireland, with concentrations in counties such as Kilkenny, Wicklow, and Waterford. Over time, some Price descendants emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, where they continue to uphold their Irish heritage.
Today, the surname Price remains a common and respected name among those of Irish descent, representing a proud lineage and connection to the rich history of Ireland.
