Panton Coat of Arms

The surname Panton has a rich history with Irish roots. It is derived from the ancient Gaelic name "Mac an tSaoir," which translates to "son of the carpenter." The Mac an tSaoir family was traditionally associated with the skilled trade of carpentry, and they played an important role in the construction of buildings and structures throughout Ireland. Over time, the name Mac an tSaoir evolved into various forms, including Macantoire, MacAntoire, and eventually Panton. The spelling variations are due to the anglicization of the original Gaelic name, as Irish surnames were often modified to make them easier for English speakers to pronounce and spell. The Panton surname is predominantly found in the northern counties of Ireland, such as Antrim and Down. Many Panton families can trace their ancestry back to these regions, where their ancestors lived and worked as carpenters. The Panton name may have also spread beyond Ireland through migration. During periods of economic hardship and political upheaval, many Irish people sought better opportunities in other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. As a result, the Panton surname can be found in various parts of the world today. Despite the passing of time and the changes in society, the Panton surname continues to serve as a reminder of the proud Irish heritage and the important role the Mac an tSaoir family played in their communities as skilled craftsmen.
