The surname Lau has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. The name can be traced back to ancient Gaelic origins, with its root being the Old Gaelic name O'Laoidhigh, which means descendant of Laodhach. The name Laodhach itself is derived from the word laoch, meaning hero or champion.
The O'Laoidhigh family was a prominent and powerful clan in ancient Ireland, with their territory located in County Westmeath. They were known for their strength and bravery in battle, and their name became synonymous with honor and nobility.
Over time, the surname O'Laoidhigh evolved into different variations, including O'Laoi, Laoi, and eventually Lau. Many members of the Lau family emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly during the Great Famine of the 19th century, which led to the spread of the surname to countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, the surname Lau is still a symbol of pride for those of Irish descent, with many individuals proudly bearing the name as a reminder of their rich and noble heritage.
