The surname Milward, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Bhárd," meaning "son of the servant of Bard" or "son of the poet." The Mac Giolla Bhárd clan was known for their poetic abilities and often served as bards or poets to the local chieftains.
Over time, the name Mac Giolla Bhárd evolved and was anglicized to Milward. During the Irish diaspora in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Irish families, including the Milwards, emigrated to various parts of the world, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia, in search of better opportunities.
In these new countries, the surname Milward became further anglicized, sometimes changing to spellings such as Millard or Millward. As generations passed, some Milwards may have lost their connection to their Irish roots and adopted the surname as a purely English surname.
Today, individuals with the surname Milward can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in the countries where Irish immigrants settled. Many people with this surname continue to take pride in their Irish heritage and may even participate in events and organizations that celebrate Irish culture.
