The history of the surname Bagshaw, specifically of Irish descent, dates back to medieval times. The name is derived from the Old English word "b�c" meaning "back" and the word "sceaga" meaning "wood" or "thicket." This suggests that the original bearer of the surname lived near or worked in a wooded area.
During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English families settled in the country and brought their surnames with them. It is likely that the Bagshaw surname was introduced to Ireland during this period. Over time, the Bagshaw family established themselves in various regions of Ireland, including County Cork, County Dublin, and County Tyrone.
The Bagshaw name has also been associated with notable individuals throughout history. One such figure is Sir William Bagshaw, an English judge who served as Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas during the late 17th century. His prominence and influence contributed to the spread of the Bagshaw name in Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Bagshaw can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigration has taken place. The name serves as a reminder of the historical connections between Ireland and England and the rich cultural heritage shared between the two countries.
