The surname Hewson has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient Celtic times. It is a patronymic surname, meaning it derives from a male ancestor's given name. In this case, Hewson is derived from the personal name "Hugh," which is of Gaelic origin.
The name Hugh itself has a rich history in Ireland and was introduced by the Anglo-Norman invaders in the 12th century. It quickly became a popular given name in the country, and as a result, many surnames were formed using variations of the name Hugh.
Over time, the surname Hewson evolved and became established as a distinct family name. The exact origins and migration patterns of the Hewson surname are not well-documented, but it is likely that the name was primarily found in the northern parts of Ireland, where the Gaelic influence was stronger.
Throughout the centuries, the Hewson name would have undergone various spellings and pronunciations as it was passed down through generations. Like many Irish surnames, it may have also been anglicized or altered when families emigrated to other countries. Today, descendants of the Hewson family can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish diaspora.
