The surname Pedigrew, sometimes spelled as Pettigrew, has an interesting history rooted in Irish descent. It is believed to be of Gaelic origin, with strong connections to Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic Mac Pheadair, meaning son of Peter.
The Pedigrew family can trace their roots back to the ancient kingdoms of Ireland. They were part of the Clan Mac Pheadair, which held prominence in Ulster, particularly in the counties of Donegal and Derry.
During the era of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish clans faced significant challenges. The Pedigrews, like other Gaelic clans, experienced oppression and displacement. The Cromwellian conquest in the 17th century and the subsequent Penal Laws imposed restrictions on the Irish, leading to the decline of Gaelic culture and the dispersion of many families, including the Pedigrews.
As a result, Pedigrews migrated to different parts of the world, seeking better opportunities. Many settled in North America, especially in regions such as Pennsylvania and the southern United States, where they contributed to the diverse tapestry of Irish immigration.
Today, the surname Pedigrew can still be found among individuals of Irish descent, serving as a reminder of their rich heritage and the resilience of their ancestors in the face of adversity.
