The surname Simpson has its origins in Ireland, where it is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Shuibhne," meaning "son of Suibhne." The name Suibhne itself is derived from the word "suibhne," which means "pleasant" or "well-disposed." The Mac Shuibhne clan was originally located in County Donegal in the north of Ireland. They were part of the larger Clan Colla, which had strong ties to ancient Ulster. The Mac Shuibhne clan played an important role in Irish history, especially during the turbulent times of medieval Ireland. During the period of English colonization, many Irish surnames, including Mac Shuibhne, underwent anglicization. The name Mac Shuibhne was anglicized as Simpson, with the prefix "Mac" being dropped. As a result, many Irish families bearing the name Mac Shuibhne became known as Simpson. Over time, the Simpson surname spread throughout Ireland and beyond, as many Irish people emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, in search of better opportunities. Today, the surname Simpson can be found in numerous countries around the world, with a significant presence in countries with large Irish diasporas. The history of the Simpson surname is a testament to the rich heritage and migration patterns of the Irish people, and it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Irish culture and identity.
