The surname Henshaw has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient Celtic times. The name is derived from the Gaelic name Ó hÉanacháin, which means "descendant of Éanachán." Éanachán is a personal name derived from the word éan, meaning "bird" or "fowl." Hence, the name Henshaw can be interpreted as "bird-like" or "resembling a bird."
In Ireland, the Henshaw name was prominent in County Roscommon and County Leitrim, where families bearing the name were known for their agricultural and livestock activities. They were often associated with raising chickens or managing hen fowl, which further reinforced the connection to the name Henshaw.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Ireland experienced significant political and religious upheavals. Many Irish families, including those with the surname Henshaw, faced persecution and economic hardship. As a result, a considerable number of Irish Henshaw families immigrated to other countries, such as England, Scotland, and the United States, in search of better opportunities.
Today, the Henshaw surname can be found scattered throughout the world, primarily in areas with Irish diaspora communities. Many individuals with the Henshaw name still maintain strong ties to their Irish heritage and actively participate in Irish cultural events and organizations.
