The surname Overton has a fascinating history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "O Mordha," which translates to "descendant of Mordha."
The name Overton can be traced back to the province of Munster in Ireland, where the O Mordha clan resided. The clan was known for their bravery and strength in battle, earning them a prominent place in Irish history.
During the centuries of English colonization and the subsequent Plantation of Ireland, many Irish families, including those with the surname Overton, were forced to migrate to England and other parts of the world. This dispersion resulted in the spreading of the surname to various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
In these new lands, the Overton name continued to thrive and evolve. Over time, variations of the surname emerged, such as Overtown, Overington, and Overtonne, as families adapted to their new environments.
Today, individuals with the surname Overton can be found all over the world, but they often retain a sense of pride in their Irish heritage. The name serves as a reminder of their ancestors' resilience and endurance throughout history.
