The surname Ashton has a rich and fascinating history, particularly among those of Irish descent.
The name Ashton is of English origin, deriving from the Old English word "ęsc" meaning "ash tree" and "tun" meaning "settlement" or "enclosure."
The earliest recorded instance of the surname Ashton can be traced back to the 12th century in Lancashire, England. However, over time, the name spread to other parts of the British Isles, including Ireland.
In Ireland, the surname Ashton is most commonly found in the province of Ulster, which has a long history of English and Scottish settlement. Many individuals with the surname Ashton in Ireland can trace their ancestry back to English and Scottish settlers who arrived in Ireland during the plantation era.
During the plantation period, large numbers of English and Scottish families were granted land in Ireland, particularly in Ulster. Some of these families adopted the surname Ashton, either to reflect their English or Scottish heritage or to assimilate into the local Irish population.
Today, individuals with the surname Ashton can be found throughout Ireland and the Irish diaspora. The name carries with it a sense of history and heritage, representing a connection to both English and Irish roots.
