Atwood The name Atwood is of locational origin and signifies a person who lived near a wooded area. In Ireland this name is usually of immigrant origin having been introduced into the Province of Ulster by settlers from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century. It is in the Northern Counties that the majority of descendants bearing this name in Ireland can today still be found.
