The surname Gough has its origins in Ireland, and it is believed to be derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Gothraidh," which means "son of Gothradh." It is a patronymic surname, indicating that it was originally used to distinguish the descendants of a particular ancestor named Gothradh.
The Gough family has a long history in Ireland, dating back centuries. They were primarily associated with the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Down. Over time, the surname spread to other parts of Ireland as families migrated and settled in different regions.
During the period of English colonization and the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Gough families were displaced and their lands were given to English and Scottish settlers. This led to further dispersal of the surname across Ireland, as some Gough families moved to other provinces such as Leinster or Munster.
The Gough surname has also been anglicized in various spellings, such as Goff or Goughan, particularly when Irish people emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Today, the Gough surname can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have settled.
