The surname Tough, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to medieval times.
The origin of the name can be attributed to the Gaelic word "tuath," which means "people" or "tribe." This suggests that the initial bearers of the surname might have been leaders or members of a particular tribe or community.
As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Tough have evolved over time. Variations such as Tuff, Toug, and Tuohy have been recorded, reflecting the phonetic changes that occurred as the name was passed down through generations.
It is believed that the Tough surname originated in the southern part of Ireland, particularly in the province of Munster. However, over time, individuals with the surname migrated to other regions of Ireland, including Leinster and Ulster. Some even ventured further afield, settling in countries such as Scotland and England.
Throughout history, the Toughs have made notable contributions in various fields. From politics to literature, individuals with the surname have left their mark. Today, the surname continues to be found among Irish communities worldwide, serving as a reminder of the rich heritage and enduring legacy of the Tough family.
