The surname Agar has a rich history of Irish descent. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Ó hAgair, meaning descendant of Agair. As with many Irish surnames, Agar originally began as a patronymic, indicating the name of an ancestor or patriarch.
The name Agar is believed to have originated in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. The Agar family were prominent in County Antrim, where they held lands and occupied positions of influence. Over time, they spread to other parts of Ireland, such as County Down and County Armagh.
During the 17th century, Ireland experienced significant upheaval due to the Plantations and religious conflicts. Many Irish families, including the Agars, faced challenges and were forced to adapt. Some Agar families emigrated, particularly to England and other parts of the British Isles, seeking better opportunities and stability.
Today, the surname Agar can still be found among Irish communities, both in Ireland and abroad. Many descendants of Agar families have migrated to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Over generations, they have maintained their Irish heritage and continue to honor their ancestry through the Agar surname.
