The surname Barrington has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic word "Báirín," which means "little spear." It is believed that the Barrington family migrated to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century and settled in County Limerick. They were granted lands and became prominent members of the local aristocracy.
The Barringtons played a significant role in Irish history and held various positions of power and influence over the centuries. They were known for their involvement in politics, the military, and the legal profession. One of the most notable figures in the Barrington family was Sir Jonah Barrington, who served as a judge and wrote extensively about Irish life during the 18th and 19th centuries.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many members of the Barrington family emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia. This was due to political unrest and economic hardships in Ireland at the time. As a result, the surname Barrington can now be found among Irish diaspora communities around the world.
Today, the Barrington surname continues to be associated with Irish heritage and holds a sense of pride among those of Irish descent. Many individuals with this surname actively research their family history and seek to connect with their Irish roots.
