The surname Garton has a rich history, particularly in relation to Irish descent. The name is of ancient origins and is derived from the Gaelic word "Gartan," which means "a place for cultivation." It is believed that the name originally referred to individuals who lived near or worked on a piece of land suitable for farming or cultivation.
The Garton surname has strong associations with County Donegal, Ireland, particularly in the region of Gartan Valley. The name is closely tied to the history and folklore of the area, as it was home to the famous Saint Colmcille, also known as Saint Columba. Saint Colmcille founded a monastery in the Gartan Valley in the 6th century, which further contributed to the prominence and spread of the Garton surname.
Over time, individuals with the Garton surname began to migrate and settle in various parts of Ireland, as well as in other countries such as England and Scotland. The Irish diaspora played a significant role in spreading the name outside of Ireland, leading to the establishment of Garton families in different parts of the world.
Today, individuals with the surname Garton can be found in many countries, particularly in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia. The name carries with it a sense of pride in Irish heritage and a connection to the historical roots of the Gartan Valley.
