The surname Cosgrove, or its variant O'Cosgrave, has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Ó Coscraigh, which means descendant of Coscrach. The prefix Ó signifies grandson or descendant of, indicating a family connection to a particular ancestor.
The Cosgrove/O'Cosgrave clan was originally associated with the ancient territory of Ui Maine, located in present-day County Galway and County Roscommon. They were part of the larger tribal grouping known as the Connachta, which included several powerful families in medieval Ireland.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Cosgrove/O'Cosgrave family faced significant challenges like many other Gaelic clans. They fought against the Anglo-Norman forces, attempting to defend their ancestral lands and maintain their cultural identity.
Over time, the surname Cosgrove/O'Cosgrave spread to different parts of Ireland, primarily in the western regions. Some members of the clan migrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, particularly during the Irish diaspora in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Today, individuals with the surname Cosgrove/O'Cosgrave can be found worldwide, proudly recognizing their Irish ancestry. They continue to celebrate their rich heritage and contribute to the diverse tapestry of the Irish diaspora.
