The surname Langdon has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. The name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the pre 7th-century Olde English word "lang," meaning "long," and "dun," meaning "hill." It is believed to have originated as a locational surname, denoting someone who lived near or on a long hill. Over time, this locational name became hereditary, passing from one generation to the next.
