The surname Rowe has an interesting history, especially when it comes to its Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Old English word "raw," meaning rough or uncultivated land.
In the context of Ireland, the surname Rowe is generally associated with the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. These Normans, who were of French origin, invaded Ireland and established their own settlements. As a result, many Norman surnames, including Rowe, became established in Irish society.
Over time, the surname Rowe became anglicized, with various spelling variations including Roche, Rau, and Roe. This is not uncommon, as the anglicization of surnames was a common practice during the English colonization of Ireland.
The distribution of the surname Rowe in Ireland is most concentrated in the southern part of the country, particularly in County Cork. This suggests that the Rowe family may have settled in this region after the Norman invasion.
Today, individuals with the surname Rowe can be found in various parts of Ireland, as well as in other countries where Irish migration has occurred. The surname continues to be passed down through generations, keeping alive the historical connection to the Norman invaders of Ireland.
