The surname Pepys, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Mac Peibis, which means "son of Pádraig." Pádraig, or Patrick, was a popular Irish name associated with St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
The Pepys surname can be traced back to the 16th century, when the Mac Peibis family migrated from Ireland to England. Over time, the spelling of the name evolved from Mac Peibis to MacPepis and finally to Pepys.
One of the most well-known individuals with the Pepys surname is Samuel Pepys, a famous English diarist who lived in the 17th century. Despite being of Irish descent, Samuel Pepys was born and raised in England. His diaries provide a unique and detailed account of life in 17th century London.
Today, the Pepys surname is relatively rare and is mainly found in England and Ireland. Due to its Irish origins, there may still be individuals with the Pepys surname who can trace their ancestry back to Ireland. It is a surname that carries a rich history and is a testament to the cultural and historical connections between Ireland and England.
