The surname Errington has a long and fascinating history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English personal name Earrin, which itself originates from the Old Norse name Arnfinnr. This Norse influence on the name can be attributed to the Vikings' presence in Ireland during the medieval period.
Over time, the name Earrin evolved into Errington, and it became a hereditary surname passed down through generations. Many individuals bearing this surname were found in the northern counties of Ireland, such as Armagh and Down, where they were often associated with the Gaelic ruling class.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Erringtons of Irish descent faced significant challenges due to ongoing political and religious conflicts. Many of them were displaced and forced to relocate to other parts of Ireland or even emigrate to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Despite these challenges, the Errington surname has endured, and today, there are still individuals with this name proudly celebrating their Irish heritage. The name has also spread to other parts of the world through migration and has become more diverse in its global representation.
