The surname Meighe, of Irish descent, has a rich and fascinating history. The name Meighe is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac Aodha," which means "son of Aodh." Aodh was a popular personal name in ancient Ireland, often associated with fire and rebirth.
The Meighe surname has its roots in County Donegal, in the northern province of Ulster. The Meighe family played a significant role in the region's history, particularly during the medieval period. They were known for their loyalty to the local chieftains and their involvement in important political and military affairs.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Meighe families migrated to other parts of Ireland and even to other countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. This dispersion resulted from various factors, including political unrest, economic opportunities, and the Great Famine of the mid-19th century.
Today, individuals with the surname Meighe can be found worldwide, but their Irish roots continue to be a significant source of pride and identity. The name Meighe is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Gaelic culture and the resilience of the Irish people.
