The surname Douse or Dowse has its origins in Ireland and is of Gaelic origin. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Dubh which means descendant of Dubh, a personal name meaning black or dark. The Dubh clan was originally located in County Waterford in the south-east of Ireland.
The name first appeared in historical records in the 17th century, and it is believed that families with the surname Douse or Dowse were part of the Gaelic aristocracy. The name was widely spread throughout Ireland, particularly in the counties of Waterford, Cork, and Kerry.
During the 19th century, many people with the surname Douse or Dowse emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This migration was often due to the difficult economic and political conditions in Ireland at the time, particularly during the period of the Great Famine.
Today, the surname Douse or Dowse can be found in many countries around the world, but it still retains its Irish heritage. Many people with this surname continue to take pride in their Irish roots and may be members of Irish cultural and heritage organizations.
