This article is about the surname. For other uses, see Wright (disambiguation).

The word wright is a term coming from the Old English word "wryhta" or "wyrhta", meaning worker or maker [1][2] (for example, a shipwright is a person who builds ships), and is used as a British family name. Wright is also an anglicized version of the Scots Gaelic clan name "MacIntyre" or "Mac an t-Saoir", meaning "Son of the Wright", or Son of the Carpenter".[3]
