Antrim Family History
Antrim Name Meaning
Evidently from the name of the county in northern Ireland. Irish
surnames are not normally derived from place names, and this surname
is not found in Ireland. It may be a U.S. coinage, perhaps adopted for
sentimental reasons by people of northern Irish descent. For the
process involved, compare Clyde.
