The surname Langton has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Ó Longáin," which means "descendant of Longán." The original bearer of this surname was likely named Longán, which is derived from the Irish word "long," meaning "ship." This suggests a possible association with seafaring or maritime activities.
The Langton surname can be traced back to medieval times when the Normans invaded Ireland. Many of the Norman settlers adopted Gaelic surnames to integrate with the local population. Over time, the name evolved into Langton.
In Irish history, the Langton surname has been associated with various clans or septs, particularly in County Kilkenny. The Langtons of Kilkenny were a notable Norman-Irish family who held significant land and wielded influence in the region. They constructed several castles and played a prominent role in local affairs.
Throughout the centuries, the Langton surname spread beyond Kilkenny and became established in other parts of Ireland. Today, individuals with Irish roots bearing the surname Langton can be found throughout the country and across the world as a result of Irish emigration.
