The surname Hayward or Heyward, of Irish descent, has an interesting history. It is derived from the Old English word "hegweard," which means "keeper of the hedge." This indicates that the original bearers of the surname were likely responsible for maintaining and protecting the boundaries of an estate or property. Over time, this occupational surname became a hereditary family name.
The Heyward surname is found predominantly in Ireland, particularly in County Cork, where it has a long history. The name is also associated with County Wicklow and other regions of Ireland. The Irish Heywards were likely Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived in Ireland during the medieval period.
The Heyward family in Ireland became well-established and prosperous landowners, with several branches of the family holding significant positions of power and influence. They were involved in various aspects of Irish society, including politics, law, and military service.
Notable individuals with the Heyward surname include Sir John Heyward, who served as the Attorney General of Ireland in the early 17th century, and Sir William Heyward, who held the position of Lord Chief Justice of Ireland in the late 18th century.
Today, the Heyward surname continues to be found in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities around the world. The history and prominence of the Heyward family in Ireland have contributed to the lasting legacy of this surname.
