The surname Paxton, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back many centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic personal name Pádraig, meaning "noble" or "high-born."
Over time, the name evolved and became Anglicized as Patrick or Fitzpatrick. However, some families retained the original Gaelic form and adopted it as their surname.
The Paxton family is believed to have originated in County Mayo, located in the western part of Ireland. They were part of the Gaelic aristocracy and held positions of power and influence within their community.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families faced persecution and were forced to change their names or migrate to other countries. Some Paxton families chose to emigrate to Scotland, where the name became more common.
In Scotland, the Paxtons established themselves and became prominent landowners and community leaders. From there, some Paxton families later migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada. Today, the surname Paxton can be found in various countries, but its roots can be traced back to its Irish origins in County Mayo.
