The surname Glisson has its origins in Ireland, specifically in county Wexford. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Ó Gliasáin, which means "descendant of Gliasán."
The Ó Gliasáin clan was said to have originated from a powerful noble family in ancient Ireland. They were known for their brave warriors and their close ties to the ruling families of the time. The name Glisson, along with its variations such as Gleeson and Glesson, spread throughout Ireland as the clan expanded and established themselves in different regions.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families were forced to anglicize their names to conform to English naming practices. This resulted in the transformation of Ó Gliasáin to Glisson and its various forms.
Over time, members of the Glisson family migrated to different parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They carried their surname with them, preserving their Irish heritage and passing it down through the generations.
Today, the surname Glisson is still relatively common among individuals of Irish descent, serving as a reminder of the enduring history and cultural heritage of the Ó Gliasáin clan.
