The surname Barston, of Irish descent, has an interesting historical background dating back several centuries.
The name Barston is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac Giolla Bhrighde," which means "son of the servant of Saint Brigid." It originated in County Kildare, Ireland, where Saint Brigid was highly venerated. The name eventually evolved into its present form, Barston, through anglicization.
During the medieval period, Ireland was under English rule, and many Irish surnames underwent anglicization to conform to English naming conventions. This was particularly prevalent during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Barston family likely played an important role in their community, serving as loyal devotees of Saint Brigid and possibly even working in the service of the church. Their surname would have served as a marker of their devotion and connection to the saint, as well as their position within the community.
Over time, members of the Barston family may have migrated to other parts of Ireland or even to other countries, bringing their surname with them. Today, individuals with the surname Barston can be found in various parts of the world, continuing to carry on their Irish heritage.
