The surname Bragg has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Ó Brádaigh, which means "descendant of Brádach." The name Brádach is derived from the Gaelic word "bradach," meaning "thieving" or "thief."
The Bragg family is believed to have originated in County Armagh, located in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. During the medieval period, the region was heavily populated by Gaelic clans, and the name Bragg was primarily associated with families living in this area.
In the 17th century, Ireland experienced a series of conflicts and upheavals, including the Plantation of Ulster, which led to the mass migration of Irish families to other parts of the world, including North America and Australia. As a result, many Bragg families left Ireland during this time, seeking new opportunities and a fresh start in new lands.
Today, individuals with the surname Bragg, of Irish descent, can be found worldwide, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities. The name has also been anglicized further in some cases, appearing as variations such as Brague or Bragge.
While the exact origins and history of every Bragg family of Irish descent may vary, their shared heritage and connection to Ireland contribute to the rich tapestry of the surname's history.
