The surname Cotton has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent.
The name Cotton is derived from the Old English word "cote" or "cottun," which means "cottage" or "hut." It was originally a topographical surname, given to someone who lived in or near a small cottage or hut.
In Ireland, the Cotton surname has its origins in the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Following the invasion, many English settlers arrived in Ireland and adopted Gaelic surnames or took on existing Gaelic surnames to assimilate into Irish society.
Over time, these English settlers formed distinct communities within Ireland and developed their own unique traditions and customs. The Cottons, as one of these English families, became part of the fabric of Irish society, contributing to the rich tapestry of Irish history.
The surname Cotton can be found throughout Ireland, with concentrations in counties such as Cork, Limerick, and Dublin. Many individuals with the surname Cotton can trace their ancestry back to these areas. Today, the Cotton surname remains a symbol of Irish heritage and serves as a reminder of the historical connections between Ireland and England.
