The surname Key or Keyes has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Aoidh, meaning son of Aodh. Aodh is the Irish word for fire, and it was commonly used as a personal name in ancient Ireland.
The Key or Keyes surname can be traced back to the 12th century in Ireland. The Mac Aoidh clan was primarily located in the province of Ulster and gained prominence in County Donegal. They were known as a powerful and influential family, often involved in political and military affairs.
During the 17th century, many Irish families faced hardships due to political and religious conflicts, including the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. As a result, several Mac Aoidh families migrated to other parts of the world, including England, Scotland, and the United States. Over time, the surname Mac Aoidh was anglicized, and variations like Key and Keyes emerged.
Today, people with the surname Key or Keyes can be found worldwide, with a significant presence in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Many individuals of Irish descent proudly bear this surname, preserving their rich heritage and ancestral ties to the Mac Aoidh clan.
