From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carter is a
family name , and also may be a
given name . Carter is of
Irish ,
Scottish and
English origin and is an occupational name given to one who transports goods by cart or wagon ultimately of
Celtic derivation. It may also appear as an English reduced form of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic derived
McCarter or the Scottish-Gaelic Mac Artair with Mc meaning "son of." Its appearance and pronunciation as Carter may also be the Anglicized form of the Irish Mac Artúir, Cuirtéir, or Ó Cuirtéir.
[2]
[3] The name is related to the Gaelic word cairt meaning cart, and ultimately from the
Latin carettarius . Additionally, in Gaelic, the word "cairtear", which means tourist or sojourner, is also related. Following the
Norman invasion of Ireland in the
1100s
Roman Catholic English derived Carter's also arrived in Ireland and settled into walled towns established by the Normans. These
Anglo-Normans assimilated into
Irish culture , adopting Irish Gaelic customs, language, and religion unlike later
English and Scottish Protestant planter settlers in Ireland who arrived between the
1550s and
1700 and mainly settled in
Ulster during the
plantation of Ulster , establishing the
Ulster Protestant community.
[4]
It is the 44th most common surname in the
United States and 56th most common in
England . In
Ireland it is ranked between
McGarry and
Cannon where it is found with greatest frequency in
County Laois as the 70th most common surname, and 274th in
Scotland where it is found with greatest frequency in the
Outer Hebrides as the 140th most common surname.
[5]
People of
European heritage bearing this surname may trace their ancestors back to Ireland, England or Scotland. Within the past 150 years, the Carter surname has been adopted widely by
African Americans as taken from slavemasters by former slaves upon the
Emancipation and
13th Amendment , through mixing with those masters (who were typically of English or Scottish descent), or through the common mixing found between
Irish immigrants and free African Americans in
Northern cities and communities such as
Five Points and
Seneca Village in
New York City and elsewhere in the United States.
[6] This name is common among African Americans capable of tracing their roots back to the
southern United States or
Caribbean from the early 20th century onward, with some 35% of name holders of Carter in the United States being of African-American descent and it being the 22nd most common surname for Black Americans.
