The surname Drew is of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the Old English word dreogan, meaning to work or toil. It was originally used as a nickname for someone who was hardworking or industrious. The name is found throughout England, but it is also commonly associated with Ireland.
In Ireland, the Drew surname is believed to have been brought to the country by English and Scottish settlers during the 16th and 17th centuries. Many Drew families established themselves in various counties across Ireland, including Cork, Clare, and Kerry. Over time, the name became integrated into the Irish population and is now considered a traditional Irish surname.
The Drew family has been influential in Irish history, with several prominent individuals bearing the surname. One notable figure is Thomas Drew, an Irish architect who designed many important buildings in Dublin during the 19th century.
Today, the surname Drew is still prevalent in Ireland, as well as in other English-speaking countries. Many individuals with Irish ancestry can trace their family history back to a Drew ancestor, making it a significant part of the Irish diaspora. The name continues to be passed down through generations, preserving the legacy of the Drew family in Ireland and beyond.
