The surname Woodhouse has its origins in England and has been traced back to the 13th century. However, in the case of Irish descent, the history of the Woodhouse surname takes a slightly different path.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, many English settlers migrated to Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. It is believed that the Woodhouse surname was one of those brought over during this time.
Over the centuries, the Woodhouse name became well-established in Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Ulster and Leinster. Many families with this surname can be found in counties such as Dublin, Antrim, and Down.
As with many surnames, variations of spelling are common. In the case of Woodhouse, these variations include Woodhus, Wodehous, and Wodhus.
The Woodhouse name is associated with a variety of occupations, including carpenters, builders, and woodworkers. This suggests that the surname may have originated from individuals who worked with or lived near woodlands.
Today, individuals with the surname Woodhouse can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled. The name continues to carry a sense of history and heritage for those who bear it.
