The surname Jefferson has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Sheórais, which means "son of Seóras." Seóras is the Irish form of the name George. The prefix "Mac" signifies "son of" in Gaelic. During the centuries when surnames were adopting, the name Mac Sheórais evolved into various forms, such as MacGheoraidh and MacGhearradh. Over time, these variations eventually became Jefferson due to anglicization. The Jefferson name is associated with Irish ancestry, but it is important to note that not all people with the surname Jefferson are of Irish descent. Some Jeffersons may have adopted the surname for other reasons or have ancestry from different regions. It is believed that the Jefferson surname first appeared in Ireland during the medieval period.
