The surname Evans is of Welsh origin, derived from the personal name Ifan, a Welsh form of John. However, it can also have Irish roots. During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Welsh people with the surname Evans migrated to Ireland, particularly to counties like Wexford, Cork, and Waterford.
In Ireland, the surname Evans was often anglicized from the Gaelic name Mac Iomhair, which means son of Iomhair. This name was common in both Ireland and Scotland, and it is likely that some of the Irish Evans families have Scottish roots as well.
The Evans surname has a long history and has been borne by many notable individuals throughout the years. In the United States, the name has been held by influential figures such as scholar and activist Mari Evans, and American politician and diplomat Lane Evans.
