It's not, what we know as Halloween started in the year 400 as a Roman celebration based on the Celtic Samhain celebration.

The Roman empire was known for combining their culture with whatever new cultures they found.

If you want to be even more picky about the origina you could look forward to the year 800 or so and the Holy Roman Empire and that would make it both French and German in a way.

Sooo... It's Ireland, Roman, French or German depending on how you want to look at it, all of them centuries before the US and Canada became a thing.

This took me 10 minutes to research...
