The surname Agard, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to ancient times. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac Giolla Ruaidh," which means "son of the red-haired servant." In early Ireland, red hair was associated with the Norse invaders, and the name may have originated from a Norse ancestor who settled in Ireland.
Over time, the name Mac Giolla Ruaidh evolved into its Anglicized form, Agard. The prefix "Mac" was dropped, and the original meaning of the name was lost. The Agard surname is primarily found in the eastern part of Ireland, particularly in County Meath and County Dublin.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Agard family faced significant challenges due to English colonization and the Plantation of Ireland. Many Irish families, including the Agards, experienced displacement and the loss of their lands. As a result, some Agard descendants may have emigrated to other parts of the world, such as North America, looking for a fresh start.
Today, the surname Agard is relatively rare, but it continues to be a part of Irish heritage. Agard descendants can take pride in their ancient Norse and Gaelic roots, as well as their resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
