The name is believed to have originated from England, with the earliest recorded instances dating back to the 13th century. The name itself is derived from the Old French word "gant," meaning "glove," suggesting that it may have originally been a nickname for someone who made or sold gloves.

Over time, the name Gant or Gaunt spread to Ireland, likely through migration or conquest. As the Irish adopted English surnames, it is possible that some individuals chose Gant or Gaunt as their surname. The name could also have been anglicized from the Gaelic name "Geannt," meaning "mountain." This may indicate that some bearers of the name had Gaelic roots and chose to adopt an English surname.

It is worth noting that the Gaunt surname gained prominence in Ireland due to the influence of the famous Anglo-Irish noble family, the House of Gaunt. This family played a significant role in Irish history, particularly during the reign of Richard II in the late 14th century. The House of Gaunt held vast estates in Ireland and England, further solidifying the association of the name with Irish ancestry.
