The surname Hopton has its origins in England, but it also has connections to Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English word "hop," meaning "a small valley" or "a remote settlement," and the word "tun," meaning "enclosure" or "farmstead." Therefore, the name Hopton originally referred to someone who lived in or near a small valley or remote settlement.
The Hopton family can be traced back to the county of Shropshire in England. Over time, some members of the Hopton family migrated to Ireland, where they established themselves as landowners and prominent figures.
In Ireland, the Hopton surname can often be found in the province of Leinster, particularly in counties such as Carlow and Dublin. The family likely settled in these areas during the 17th century, a time of significant migration and settlement in Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Hopton of Irish descent can be found both in Ireland and across the world, as members of the family have emigrated to various countries over the years. The name Hopton continues to be a reminder of the family's English origins and their later establishment in Ireland.
