The surname Weston has its origins in England and is derived from the Old English elements "west," meaning "west," and "tun," meaning "town" or "settlement." It was originally used to describe someone who lived to the west of a particular settlement.
As for its history in Ireland, Weston is not a traditionally Irish surname. However, it is possible for people of Irish descent to have acquired the surname through various means. One possibility is through the colonization of Ireland by English settlers during the 16th and 17th centuries. These settlers were often granted land and given English surnames.
Another possible scenario is that individuals with the surname Weston moved to Ireland from England at some point in history. This could have been due to factors such as employment opportunities, marriage, or other personal reasons.
It is also worth noting that surnames could have been anglicized versions of original Gaelic surnames. In some cases, individuals with Gaelic surnames adopted English surnames due to social or economic pressures.
Overall, while Weston is not inherently an Irish surname, individuals of Irish descent may have acquired it through various historical circumstances.
