Wright

Template:Short description Template:About Template:Infobox surname Wright is an occupational surname originating in England and Scotland.<ref name=BDF /> The term 'Wright' comes from the circa 700 AD Old English word 'wryhta' or 'wyrhta', meaning worker or shaper of wood. Later it became any occupational worker<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> (for example, a shipwright is a person who builds ships), and is used as a British family name.

The word's use as an occupational title continued until the mid-19th century, often combined with other words such as in shipwright, wheelwright,<ref>Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights</ref> wainwright and playwright.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Template:As of, Wright was the eleventh most common surname in England.<ref name="BDF" />

The word carpentier, now "carpenter", was introduced into England in the years after the Norman conquest in 1066 and slowly replaced the traditional name and meaning of wright in most of England. 'Wright' is still used in Scottish English in the original meaning of 'skilled woodworker'. The Incorporation of Wrights of the Trades House of Glasgow,<ref>Incorporation of Wrights of the Trades House of Glasgow</ref> and the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons of Edinburgh Trades<ref>Incorporation of Wrights and Masons of Edinburgh Trades</ref> retain the word in its original meaning in their role of promoting the woodworking trade.

Wright is also an anglicised version of the Scots Gaelic clan name "MacIntyre" or "Mac an t-Saoir", meaning "son of the wright" (son of the carpenter).<ref>MacIntyre at Scotweb Clan</ref><ref>MacIntyre Clan myth</ref><ref>Clan MacIntyre Association</ref> In Ireland, the native Gaelic Mac an Cheairt sept of County Mayo occasionally changed their name to Wright. This is a literal translation meaning, "son of the right or righteous".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
