The surname Askew, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that dates back centuries. The name derives from the Old Norse word "askr," meaning "ash tree," and was originally used as a topographic or locational surname to denote someone who lived near an ash tree or an ash wood.

The surname Askew first appeared in Ireland during the medieval period when Vikings settled in the region. They brought with them their Norse naming customs, which included using descriptive surnames based on natural features of the landscape. Over time, the Norse settlers intermarried with the local Irish population, leading to the assimilation of the Askew surname into Irish culture.

During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English settlers arrived and brought with them their own surnames, including Askew. The name became more prevalent in Ireland with the English colonization and the subsequent establishment of English administrative systems.

The Askew surname has been found in various regions of Ireland, including County Galway, County Cork, and County Antrim. Over the centuries, families with the surname Askew have played significant roles in Irish society, contributing to various fields such as politics, literature, and the arts. Today, the Askew surname continues to be found not only in Ireland but also among the Irish diaspora around the world.
