The surname Petty or Pettie has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Pheidin," which means "son of Pheidin." Pheidin is a diminutive form of the name Pádraig, which translates to Patrick in English. The name Patrick can be traced back to the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.
The surname Petty or Pettie was likely adopted by individuals who were descendants of someone named Pheidin or Patrick. It is common for surnames in Irish culture to be derived from either a father's name or a patronymic naming system. This practice helped to distinguish individuals and their lineage.
The Petty or Pettie surname can be found throughout Ireland, particularly in counties such as Cork, Kerry, and Limerick. These counties have strong Irish Gaelic roots and have been inhabited by Gaelic-speaking communities for centuries.
Over time, many individuals with the surname Petty or Pettie emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. This migration occurred due to various factors, such as the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, economic opportunities, and political unrest. As a result, the Petty or Pettie name can now be found in Irish diaspora communities across the globe.
Today, individuals with the surname Petty or Pettie continue to celebrate their Irish heritage and contribute to the diverse tapestry of Irish surnames.
