The surname McWorth or MacWorth is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name "MacUirth," which means "son of Uirth." This name is believed to have originated in Ireland during medieval times.
In ancient Ireland, surnames were not commonly used. Instead, individuals were often identified by a patronymic naming system, where a person's name would be followed by "Mac" meaning "son of" or "O" meaning "descendant of." In the case of McWorth or MacWorth, it signifies that the individual is the son of Uirth.
The name Uirth, or its variant forms, was not a common given name in Ireland. It is believed to be of early medieval origin and possibly derived from Old Norse or Scandinavian origins. This could indicate that the name McWorth or MacWorth has Viking roots, as the Norse had a significant influence on Ireland during this period.
Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of McWorth or MacWorth may have evolved due to various factors, such as the anglicization of Gaelic names or regional dialects. Today, individuals with the surname McWorth or MacWorth can be found primarily among Irish descendants, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish communities have settled.
