The surname Henderson has its origins in Scotland, but it also has associations with Irish descent. The name Henderson is an Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic patronymic name MacEanruig, which means "son of Henry."
The name Henry itself has Norman-French origins and was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans during the 12th century. As a result, the surname Henderson became more prevalent in Ireland over time.
In Ireland, the Henderson surname is mainly found in the northern parts of the country, particularly in Ulster. This can be attributed to the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, when Scottish settlers were encouraged to relocate to Ireland. Many of these Scottish settlers brought their Scottish surnames with them, including Henderson.
It is important to note that not all individuals with the surname Henderson in Ireland have Scottish ancestry. Some Irish families adopted the surname Henderson when English authorities introduced the practice of anglicizing Irish surnames during the 16th and 17th centuries. This was done to make the names more easily recognizable and pronounceable in English.
