Historically, emigration from Ireland has been the result of conflict, famine and economic issues. People of Irish descent are found mainly in English-speaking countries; especially Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada and Australia. There are also significant numbers in Argentina and Mexico.
The United States has the largest number of Irish descendants, while in Australia those of Irish descent are a higher percentage of the population than in any other country

Irish people who have dark hair, brown eyes and dark complexions are often referred to as Black Irish. In some places, at times, immigrants from Ireland have been called this term, often in a derogatory manner. There are even believed to be some people who are not of Irish descent who have used this term to refer to themselves in order to conceal their true ancestry

One popular theory suggests the Black Irish are descendants of survivors of the Spanish Armada, despite research discrediting such claims.

Surnames
The Irish were among the first people in Europe to use surnames as we know them Today. It is very common for people of Gaelic origin to have the English versions of their surnames beginning with "O'" or "Mc".
