The surname Saunders has roots in both English and Irish origins. In the case of Irish descent, the name can be traced back to the Gaelic surname Mac Sándair, which means "son of Alexander". The name Alexander was a popular given name in Ireland due to its association with the medieval warrior king, Alexander the Great.
During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many English settlers arrived and intermarried with the native Irish population. It is during this time that the surname Saunders would have been introduced to Ireland.
Over the centuries, the surname Saunders became anglicized and adapted to the Irish language and culture. Irish families with the surname Saunders could be found in various parts of the country, including counties Kerry, Cork, and Wexford. These families often held prominent positions in society, such as landlords or merchants.
In modern times, the surname Saunders is still fairly common in Ireland. Many descendants of Irish Saunders families have emigrated to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, spreading the name further across the globe. Today, the surname Saunders serves as a link to Irish heritage and ancestry for many individuals around the world.
