The surname Agnew has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient Gaelic times. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Ó Gnímh or Ó Gníomh, which means descendant of the hero or descendant of the champion. The name was initially associated with the Gaelic noble families of Ulster, particularly around the counties of Tyrone and Derry.
During the 17th century, Ireland underwent a significant period of upheaval, marked by colonization and the Plantation of Ulster. Many Gaelic Irish families were displaced from their ancestral lands, and as a result, some members of the Agnew clan migrated to other parts of Ireland and beyond.
In the centuries that followed, Irish emigration due to economic hardship and political turmoil led many Agnew families to settle in other countries, particularly in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. As a result, the surname Agnew can now be found in various parts of the world, with significant populations in the United States, Canada, Australia, Scotland, and England.
Today, individuals with the surname Agnew often take pride in their Irish heritage and may celebrate their ancestral connections through family reunions, cultural events, and genealogical research. The name Agnew serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy and strength of the Irish people throughout history.
