The surname London has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Ó Laoidhóg," meaning "descendant of Laoidhóg." The prefix "Ó" indicates "descendant of," while "Laoidhóg" is thought to come from "laoidh," meaning a "poem" or "song." This suggests that the original bearers of the name may have been involved in the traditional Irish art of storytelling or poetry.

Over time, the name evolved into the anglicized form "London." It is likely that this transformation occurred during the period of English influence and colonization in Ireland. Many Irish people adopted anglicized versions of their surnames during this time to assimilate into English society.

The London surname is most commonly found in the counties of Cork and Kerry in Ireland. These areas have historically been associated with a strong Gaelic culture and language. It is possible that the name London was particularly prevalent among families who were proud of their Gaelic heritage and wished to preserve it in their surname.

Today, individuals with the surname London can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish Diaspora, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name continues to be a reminder of Irish ancestry and the enduring legacy of Gaelic culture.
