The surname Glover has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The origins of the name can be traced back to the medieval period when occupational surnames became common.
In this context, the surname Glover was given to individuals who worked as glove makers. The word "glove" itself originated from the Old English term "glof," highlighting the importance of this trade during that time.
The occupation of glove making was important in medieval society, as gloves were not only used for protection but also for fashion and social status. Glovers played a crucial role in supplying these accessories to the nobility and wealthy individuals.
Over time, the surname Glover spread throughout Ireland, and many families adopted it as their own. It became a recognizable and respected name within the Irish community. As Irish individuals migrated to different parts of the world, they carried their surname with them, further establishing the prominence of the Glover name.
