The surname Glasgow has its origins in Ireland, specifically among those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic word "glaschu," which means "dear green place." Glasgow is also the name of a city in Scotland, but the Irish origins of this surname cannot be overlooked.
The surname Glasgow is believed to have first originated in County Donegal in Ireland. It is likely that those who bore this surname were originally from the area surrounding the city of Glasgow in Scotland, and migrated to Ireland at some point in history. The surname then spread throughout Ireland, with concentrations found in other counties such as Antrim and Down.
During the 19th century, many people bearing the surname Glasgow emigrated from Ireland to various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. This was a period of great migration due to economic and political factors, such as the Irish Potato Famine and the desire for better opportunities elsewhere.
Today, individuals with the surname Glasgow can be found in many countries around the world, but the Irish roots of this name remain an important part of its history. The surname Glasgow is a testament to the enduring connections between Ireland and Scotland, as well as the global movement of people throughout history.
