The surname Methven has origins in both Scotland and Ireland. While it is more commonly associated with Scottish ancestry, there is also evidence of its presence among Irish descendants. The name itself is derived from the place name Methven, which is located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
In Ireland, the surname Methven can be traced back to the arrival of Scottish settlers during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. Many Scottish families were granted land in Ulster by the English Crown, and it is likely that some Methvens were among these settlers.
Over the centuries, the Methven surname became further intertwined with Irish heritage as families intermarried and migrated across the country. Some Methvens may have anglicized their name to fit in with English-speaking communities, while others retained the original spelling.
It is worth noting that the number of people with the surname Methven of Irish descent is relatively small compared to those of Scottish ancestry. However, the presence of the name in Ireland highlights the complex history of migration and cultural exchange between Scotland and Ireland.
