The surname MacRitchie has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name MacRoich, which means "son of Roich." The name Roich is believed to have been a personal name in ancient Ireland. The prefix "Mac" indicates "son of" in Gaelic.
The MacRitchie surname is primarily associated with the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. It is believed that the MacRitchie family originally hailed from County Antrim, which is located in this province. The name MacRitchie can also be found in other parts of Ireland, although it is less common outside of Ulster.
During the 17th century, many Irish families, including those with the MacRitchie surname, faced persecution and hardship due to the colonization and political unrest in Ireland. As a result, some MacRitchie families emigrated to other countries, seeking better opportunities and a more stable life. Many MacRitchies found their way to the United States, Canada, and other parts of the British Empire.
Today, individuals with the surname MacRitchie can be found across the globe, particularly in countries with large Irish diaspora communities. The surname continues to be a cherished link to Irish heritage and identity for many.
