The surname Sames or Samms, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back several centuries. The name derives from the Gaelic word "seamuis," meaning "son of James." It is an anglicized form of the original Gaelic name, reflecting the influence of the English language on Irish surnames.
The earliest recorded instances of the surname can be found in medieval Ireland. During this time, surnames were primarily used to distinguish different branches of a family or to indicate a person's occupation. The surname Sames or Samms likely originated as a way to identify individuals who were the sons of a man named James.
Over time, the surname Sames or Samms spread throughout Ireland and its diaspora. Many Irish families with this surname emigrated to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom during periods of mass migration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This resulted in the name becoming more widespread and diverse.
Today, individuals with the surname Sames or Samms can be found in various parts of the world, but there are still significant concentrations in Ireland and its neighboring countries. The name continues to be a testament to the Irish heritage and serves as a reminder of the ancestral ties that connect individuals with this surname to their Irish roots.
