The surname Meldrum has its origins in Scotland, specifically in the region of Aberdeenshire. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "m�ladair," which means "miller." As the name suggests, it originally denoted someone who worked as a miller. Over time, the name Meldrum was adopted by several families in Scotland, and it became a hereditary surname. However, there is also a significant Irish connection to the surname Meldrum. During the 16th and 17th centuries, many Scots-Irish families migrated from Scotland to Ireland due to religious and political conflicts. These families brought their surnames with them, including Meldrum. As a result, the surname Meldrum can be found in various parts of Ireland, particularly in the province of Ulster. The history of the Meldrum surname in Ireland is closely intertwined with the broader history of Scots-Irish immigration and settlement. Many Meldrum families in Ireland were involved in agriculture and farming, while others worked as tradesmen or merchants. Some Meldrums also played significant roles in Irish politics and society. Today, individuals with the surname Meldrum can be found not only in Scotland and Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Scots-Irish diaspora communities exist. The surname continues to be passed down through generations, keeping alive the ancestral connections of those with Irish descent.
