The surname Janson, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that dates back several centuries. It is derived from the Irish Gaelic name Mac Sheáin, meaning "son of John."
In Ireland, surnames were not commonly used until the 16th century when English influence began to spread. At this time, many Irish families adopted surnames to comply with English legal requirements. As a result, the Mac Sheáin family became known as the Jansons.
The Jansons likely originated in County Galway, located in the western part of Ireland. Galway was an important center of trade and commerce, attracting settlers from various backgrounds. It is believed that the Jansons were originally of Norman or Viking descent, as their surname has similarities to Scandinavian names.
Over time, the Janson family spread throughout Ireland and beyond. Many members of the Janson clan emigrated to other countries, particularly during times of political and economic turmoil. Today, individuals with the surname Janson can be found across the globe, with notable concentrations in Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
