The surname Loch, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. The surname is derived from the Irish Gaelic word "loch," which means "lake" or "lough." It likely originated as a topographic or locational surname, originally used to denote someone who lived near a lake or lough.
During the medieval period, surnames became more common in Ireland, and the use of locational surnames increased. As people began to settle in specific areas, they adopted surnames based on their surroundings.
The surname Loch is most commonly found in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. This region is known for its numerous lakes and loughs, which may explain the prevalence of the surname in this area.
Over time, variations of the surname Loch have emerged, including Lough, Lochs, and Loughs. These variations reflect different anglicized spellings of the original Gaelic word.
Today, individuals with the surname Loch can be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Many individuals with this surname may still have connections to their Irish ancestors and their ancestral lands near lakes or loughs in Ulster.
