The surname Richardson has its origins in England but has also been adopted by Irish families over the years. In the case of Irish descendants, it is believed that the name was introduced to the country during the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
During this time, many English settlers arrived in Ireland and established themselves as landowners and administrators. These settlers often brought their English surnames with them, and Richardson is thought to have been one of those surnames that became assimilated into Irish culture.
The name Richardson is derived from the Old Germanic personal name "Ricard," meaning "brave power." In England, it was first recorded as a surname in the 13th century and gradually spread to other parts of the British Isles, including Ireland.
Over the centuries, Irish families with the surname Richardson have become well-established in various parts of the country. Many of them can trace their ancestry back to the original English settlers, while others may have adopted the surname later on due to marriage or other circumstances.
Today, Richardson is a relatively common surname among Irish families, with descendants spread across the country and the wider Irish diaspora.
