The Celtic ancestors of the Irish began migrating to Ireland around three thousand years ago, and a national Irish identity began to emerge in the 7th century. A combination of famine and political turmoil drove hundreds of thousands of Irish away from their homeland in the mid-19th century.
Because of this, the vast majority of people with Irish heritage live outside the U.K., including the U.S. and Australia, where Irish names continue to be used in many families.
