The surname Hodson has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Old English personal name "Hod" or "Hodd," which means "famous" or "renowned." The addition of the suffix "-son" denotes "son of Hod," creating the surname Hodson.
The Hodson surname is believed to have been brought to Ireland by settlers from England during the medieval period. These settlers often held prominent positions in society and were granted land and titles by the English crown. As a result, the Hodson surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, particularly in areas with English influence such as Dublin, Cork, and Waterford.
Over time, the Hodson family in Ireland branched out and established themselves in different regions. They became involved in various professions and occupations, including agriculture, trade, and military service. Many Hodsons also played important roles in local government and administration.
As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Hodson may have evolved over the centuries. Variations of the surname, such as Hudson, Hodsen, and Hodgson, can be found in historical records.
Today, individuals with the surname Hodson of Irish descent can be found in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world where the Irish diaspora has spread. The name continues to carry the legacy of the Hodson family and their contributions to Irish history and culture.
