The surname Tait has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The origin of the name can be traced back to the ancient Gaelic culture of Ireland. The Gaelic word "tath" means "willing," and it is believed that Tait was originally a descriptive nickname given to someone who was known for their enthusiasm or willingness.
Over time, this nickname evolved into a hereditary surname, passed down from generation to generation. The first recorded instance of the Tait surname in Ireland was in County Cavan during the 17th century. It is likely that the Tait family migrated from Scotland, as the name is also of Scottish origin.
