The surname Dixon is of English and Irish origin, with the Irish variant of the name being O'Dea. In Ireland, the name Dixon is derived from the Gaelic O'Duibhidhin, which translates to descendant of Dubhda, a personal name meaning black-haired. The O'Dea variant of the name is derived from the Gaelic O'Dea, meaning descendant of Deagha, a personal name of uncertain origin.
The Dixon surname has a long history in Ireland, with the first recorded instance of the name dating back to the 12th century. The O'Dixons were originally a prominent family in County Limerick, where they held vast estates and were known for their military prowess. They were also one of the ruling families of the Kingdom of Thomond.
During the English conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, many O'Dixons were displaced from their lands and forced to leave Ireland. As a result, many Dixon families emigrated to other countries, including England, Scotland, and the United States. Today, the Dixon surname is most commonly found in these countries, with a significant number of individuals of Irish descent bearing the name.
Overall, the history of the Dixon surname is closely tied to the history of Ireland, with its origins dating back centuries and its spread to other countries driven by historical events such as colonization and emigration.
