The surname Hume, of Irish descent, has a rich and intriguing history. The Hume lineage is traced back to the O'Cuiv, a Gaelic sept originally from the county of Waterford. After the 12th century Anglo-Norman invasion, the sept migrated to County Clare and Galway, where their Gaelic name was anglicized to Quive, and later evolved into Hume.
The change in the surname is believed to have been influenced by the Scottish border clan 'Home', pronounced as Hume, who settled in Ulster during the Plantation in the 17th century. The Scottish clan had a strong influence in the region, and local families may have adopted the name to denote their allegiance or association with them.
Despite the anglicization of their names, the Hume families maintained their Gaelic traditions. Today, the surname Hume is widely spread across Ireland, particularly in Ulster and Connacht, bearing the historical testament of Gaelic survival against Norman and later, English influences.
Contrary to the violent history of many Irish surnames, the Humes are noted for their contributions to arts, politics, and theology rather than military exploits, reinforcing the Irish tradition of scholarship and intellectual prowess.
