The surname Woodroff or Woodruff has its origins in England and Ireland. In England, it is believed to have derived from the Old English word "wudu" meaning "wood" and "hrof" meaning "roof" or "shelter." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived in or near a wooded area or had a connection to the timber or forestry industry. In Ireland, the surname Woodroff or Woodruff is associated with Irish Gaelic origins. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Con Stara," which means "son of the dog of the stara." The stara was a medieval Irish poet and historian, and the name likely indicates a connection to this profession or a poetic lineage. Over time, the spelling of the surname may have evolved, and different variations emerged. Some individuals with Irish descent chose to use the spelling Woodroff or Woodruff to reflect their Irish heritage, while others may have retained the original English spelling. Today, individuals with the surname Woodroff or Woodruff can be found worldwide, with notable bearers of the name in various fields such as literature, politics, and business.
