The surname Bowen, derived from the Welsh ap Owen meaning son of Owen, has a rich history with Irish ancestry. The origins of the Bowen surname can be traced back to Wales, where it was commonly found in the medieval period. However, the name later spread to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
During this time, many Welsh families migrated to Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. The Bowen surname found its way into various parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Cork, Waterford, and Wexford. The name became anglicized to Bowen over time.
The Irish Bowens were typically of Norman descent and were prominent in Irish society. They held positions of power and influence, often serving as military officers, landowners, or government officials. One notable Irish Bowen was Sir William Bowen, who served as the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the early 18th century.
Over the years, the Bowen surname has spread beyond Ireland, with many descendants emigrating to other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the surname Bowen is still commonly found among people of Irish descent, serving as a reminder of the ancestral ties to both Wales and Ireland.
