The surname Segrave is of Irish descent and has a rich history. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Searraigh," which means "son of the foal." The Mac Searraigh clan was one of the ancient septs of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. They were known for their skills as horse breeders and traders.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced a tumultuous period with English colonization and the Plantation of Ulster. Many Irish families, including the Mac Searraighs, faced persecution and displacement. Some chose to anglicize their names to assimilate into English society, and the surname Mac Searraigh was transformed into Segrave.
Over time, members of the Segrave family migrated to different parts of Ireland and beyond. They spread to counties such as Antrim, Armagh, and Down, as well as to England, Scotland, and the United States.
Today, the surname Segrave can still be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, where some descendants of the Mac Searraigh clan have reclaimed their original Gaelic surname.
The history of the Segrave surname reflects the resilience and adaptability of the Irish people throughout their tumultuous past. It serves as a reminder of their rich cultural heritage and the struggles they have overcome.
