The surname Claxton has its roots in Ireland, where it is believed to have originated. The name Claxton is derived from the Gaelic name Mac an Chlochtaigh, which means "son of the stone." This name likely referred to someone who lived near a prominent stone or worked with stone in some way.
The Claxton name was first recorded in Irish history in the 16th century. It is believed that the Claxton family originally hailed from County Cork, in the southern part of Ireland. Over time, branches of the Claxton family spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Laois and County Tipperary.
During the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, many Irish families emigrated to other countries in search of a better life. Some members of the Claxton family made the journey across the Atlantic to the United States and settled in various states, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts.
Today, the surname Claxton can be found in Ireland, the United States, and other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled.
