The surname Savage has a long history, with roots in both Ireland and England. In Ireland, the name is said to have originated from the Irish Gaelic "sabhdh," meaning "warrior" or "hero." The Savage family became one of the most powerful clans in Ireland during the Middle Ages, with strongholds in the north and west of the country. They were known for their bravery in battle and their fierce loyalty to their clan.
However, the Savage family's power and influence waned during the 16th and 17th centuries, as English colonialism took hold in Ireland. Many members of the family were forced to flee to England, where they continued to use the Savage surname.
In England, the Savage family became prominent members of the aristocracy, with members serving as MPs and holding high-ranking positions in the military and government. The family's connection to Ireland was not forgotten, however, and many English Savages continued to maintain ties to their ancestral homeland.
Today, the Savage surname can be found around the world, with many people of Irish and English descent bearing the name. While the family's power and influence may have diminished over the centuries, the Savage name remains a proud symbol of strength and resilience.
