Evans

The name Evans in Ireland is usually of immigrant origin having been introduced into the country by settlers from Wales. It is sometimes an anglicized form of the Gaelic O'hEimhin Sept of Counties Kilkenny and Tipperary. This Gaelic name is taken from a word meaning 'swift'.

Origen: Galés. Evans is a patronymic surname created from the Welsh personal name Lefan, or Evan, which is a cognate of the personal name John. First found in Herefordshire, where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
