The surname Benson, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that stretches back many centuries. Its origins can be traced to the Gaelic name "Mac Beatháin" or "Ó Beatháin," which translates to "son of Beathan" or "descendant of Beathan." Beathan is an ancient personal name derived from the Gaelic word "beatha," meaning "life."

In Ireland, the surname Benson was predominantly found in County Fermanagh in Ulster, where the Mac Beatháin sept resided. The sept was associated with the ruling Gaelic nobility and held prominent positions within the local community. They were considered a powerful and influential family during medieval times.

Over time, some members of the Mac Beatháin sept adopted the anglicized version of their name, becoming known as Benson. This transition likely occurred during the period of English influence and colonization in Ireland. The anglicization of Gaelic surnames was a common practice during this time, as individuals sought to fit into the English-speaking society.

As a result of emigration, the Benson surname spread beyond Ireland. Today, individuals with Irish heritage bearing the surname Benson can be found not only in Ireland but also in various parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The surname's historical significance and long-standing Irish roots make it an enduring symbol of Irish ancestry.
