The surname Peyton or Payton, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back to medieval times. It is derived from the Old English personal name Pega, which was a diminutive form of names beginning with "Peg-", such as Margaret or Mergriet.
The name Pega was brought to Ireland by Anglo-Norman settlers during the Norman Conquest of the 12th century. Over time, the name underwent various changes in spelling and pronunciation, eventually evolving into Peyton or Payton.
During the medieval period, the Peytons or Paytons were primarily found in County Galway and County Mayo in the western part of Ireland. They were often associated with the Anglo-Norman lords who held power in those regions.
As the centuries passed, the Peyton or Payton surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in areas where English influence was strong. Many individuals with this surname were involved in the military and held positions of power within the Anglo-Irish gentry.
Today, the Peyton or Payton surname is found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, as many Irish emigrants brought their surnames with them when they settled in new lands.
