The surname Meares, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "Ó Míodhra" which means "descendant of Míodhra." Míodhra was a personal name that was commonly used in ancient Ireland. It is believed that the name Meares originated in County Galway, located in the western part of Ireland.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced waves of invasions and settlements by various groups, including the Vikings and the Normans. These invasions brought about changes in the Irish naming system, leading to the adoption of surnames. The use of surnames became more widespread in Ireland from the 10th century onwards.
The Meares surname likely emerged as a result of these developments. Over time, the descendants of Míodhra began using Meares as their surname. As families spread throughout Ireland, the name became more widespread in different counties.
Irish surnames often underwent anglicization during the 16th and 17th centuries, due to English influence and policies. As a result, variations of the surname Meares, such as O'Meares or O'Meary, started to appear.
Today, individuals with the Meares surname can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, as many Irish emigrated during the 18th and 19th centuries. The surname serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Irish people.
