The surname Cabot, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that traces back to medieval times. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Cabóid," which means "descendant of Cabána."
The name Cabána itself originates from the Old Irish word "cabán," meaning "cabin" or "hut." It is likely that the original bearers of the surname were either associated with or lived in cabins, hence the name.
The Cabot family has deep roots in Ireland, particularly in the province of Munster. Over time, they spread throughout the country, with notable concentrations in counties Cork and Kerry. Cabots were predominantly found in rural and agricultural communities, where they often worked as farmers or laborers.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Cabots emigrated from Ireland to various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. They sought better economic opportunities and a chance for a brighter future. Today, descendants of these Irish Cabots can still be found in these countries, proudly carrying on their ancestral surname.
The name Cabot has also gained recognition due to the famous Italian explorer John Cabot, who sailed under the English flag and is known for his voyages to North America in the late 15th century. However, it is important to note that this historical figure is not directly linked to the Irish Cabots, as their surname predates his arrival in England.
