The surname Redwood has roots that can be traced back to Ireland. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Ruadháin, meaning "descendant of Ruadhán."
The name Ruadhán itself is derived from the word "ruadh," which translates to "red" in English. This suggests that the original bearers of the name may have had red hair or a reddish complexion.
The Ó Ruadháin family was believed to have originated in County Waterford in the southeast of Ireland. They were a prominent sept or clan associated with the Uí Fiachrach dynasty.
Over time, some members of the Ó Ruadháin family anglicized their name to Redwood, likely due to the influence of English officials and the desire to assimilate. This anglicization was common during the period of English colonization in Ireland.
As Ireland faced political and social upheaval, many Irish families emigrated to other countries, including the United States. Consequently, the surname Redwood became more widespread among the Irish diaspora. Today, individuals with the surname Redwood of Irish descent can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in English-speaking countries.
