The surname Ellwood has its roots in Irish descent. It is derived from the Irish Gaelic name "MacGiolla Riabhaigh," which means "son of the servant of Riabhach." Riabhach refers to someone with tawny or brindled hair.
The name MacGiolla Riabhaigh eventually evolved into MacIllriabhaigh and Mac Elwraith in Irish language. Over time, English-speaking individuals anglicized it to Ellwood.
The Ellwood surname has its origins in County Leitrim, located in the province of Connacht in Ireland. Here, the family was primarily associated with the Gaelic nobility and held positions of prominence.
During the 17th century, many Irish families, including those with the surname Ellwood, were affected by the plantation policy implemented by the English. This policy aimed to replace Irish landowners with English settlers. As a result, some Ellwood families migrated to neighboring countries like Scotland and England.
In Scotland, the name Ellwood variations such as Elwood, Ellwood, and Elward can be found. In England, the surname Ellwood is most commonly associated with the counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and Lancashire.
Today, people with the surname Ellwood can be found around the world, particularly in places with significant Irish and Scottish diasporas.
