The surname Morehead has its origins in Ireland. It is an Anglicized version of the Irish surname O'Mordha, which means "descendant of Mordha." The prefix "O" in Irish surnames signifies "descendant of" or "son of." The name Mordha is derived from the Gaelic word "mord," meaning "stately" or "noble."
The Morehead family is believed to have originated in County Clare, in the western part of Ireland. They were part of the powerful Dalcassian tribe, which played a significant role in Irish history. The Dalcassians were known for their warrior heritage and their resistance against various invaders.
During the 17th century, Ireland experienced a turbulent period marked by colonization and religious conflict. Many Irish families, including the Moreheads, were affected by these events and subsequently left Ireland in search of better opportunities and stability. They emigrated to various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In the United States, the Morehead family played a notable role in the history of Kentucky. James Turner Morehead, a lawyer and politician from North Carolina, moved to Kentucky in the early 1800s and became a prominent figure in the state's political landscape. He served as a U.S. senator and later became the governor of Kentucky. Today, the Morehead name continues to be present in various parts of the world, with individuals proudly carrying on the legacy of their Irish ancestry.
