The surname Pye, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries.
The name Pye is derived from the Gaelic word "páidín," meaning "little Patrick." It is a patronymic surname, indicating that it is based on a male ancestor's given name. In this case, it is believed to have originated from the given name Patrick, a popular name in Ireland.
The Pye family can be traced back to County Wexford, located in the southeastern part of Ireland. They were likely part of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, which brought about significant changes in the country. The Normans introduced new surnames and centralized governance, leading to the formation of the Irish clan system.
Over time, the Pye surname spread across Ireland, with branches of the family settling in different regions. Some Pye families migrated to other countries, particularly during periods of economic hardship in Ireland. They settled in places like England, Canada, the United States, and Australia, where their descendants can still be found today.
The Pye surname has variations in spelling, such as Poy, Poe, or Poye, which can be attributed to different dialects or regional accents. Despite these variations, the surname Pye remains a testament to the Irish heritage and the enduring legacy of the Patrick name in Ireland.
