The surname Reading, also spelled as Reding, has a history of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic surname Ó Ruidhrigh, which means "descendant of Ruidhrigh." The prefix "Ó" indicates "descendant of," while "Ruidhrigh" is believed to come from the Old Irish word "ruad," meaning "red." Therefore, the name Reading or Reding can be interpreted as "descendant of the red one."
The surname Reading is closely associated with County Clare in Ireland, specifically the area around the town of Ennis. It is believed that the family originated from there and spread to other parts of Ireland and later to other countries.
Over time, variations in the spelling of the surname emerged, such as Reding, Ridden, and Reddin. This is common in many Irish surnames, as they were often anglicized or altered as families migrated and settled in different regions.
Today, individuals with the surname Reading or Reding can be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Many individuals of Irish descent take pride in their surname and continue to celebrate their heritage through family traditions and cultural activities.
