The surname Taap or Tapp, of Irish descent, has an interesting and ancient history.
The name originated from the Gaelic word "O'Taithbheartaigh," which means "descendant of Taithbheartach." The prefix "O" signifies "descendant of," while "Taithbheartach" is derived from "taithim," meaning "to cut" or "to hew," and "beart," meaning "act" or "deed." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were likely known for their skill in woodworking or carpentry.
The O'Taithbheartaigh family was primarily located in County Galway and County Mayo in the western part of Ireland. They were prominent landowners and held positions of influence within their communities.
Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the name evolved, leading to variations such as Taap or Tapp. This could be attributed to changes in dialects or local accents.
It is important to note that the name Taap or Tapp is not as common as some other Irish surnames. However, those who bear this surname can trace their ancestry back to the O'Taithbheartaigh family and their ancestral lands in western Ireland.
