Overview

edit

In Ireland, the surname Montgomery has in some cases undergone gaelicisation, with Montgomery translated into Mac Con Iomaire. It is also used to translate the surname Ridge. It is found mainly in Gaeltacht areas such as County Donegal and County Galway, but also in urban areas such as Dublin.

It is quite distinct from the very similar surname Mac an Iomaire.
