The surname Carfrae has its origins in Ireland, specifically in the province of Ulster. It is believed to be of Scottish Gaelic origin, with the name deriving from the Gaelic words "cair" meaning "rock" and "fraoigh" meaning "heath". This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a rocky heath or moorland.
During the medieval period, Scotland and Ireland had close ties, and there was a significant movement of people between the two regions. Many Scottish families, including the Carfraes, migrated to Ireland during this time, possibly due to political or economic reasons.
In Ireland, the Carfrae surname would have undergone further adaptation and anglicization. As with many Irish surnames, variations in spelling are common, and different branches of the family may have adopted different forms of the name.
Over time, some members of the Carfrae family may have relocated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as part of the Irish diaspora. Today, descendants of the Carfrae family can be found in various countries, carrying on the legacy of their Irish ancestors.
