The surname Poynton has a history that can be traced back to Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó Maol Pháidín," meaning "descendant of the follower of Saint Patrick." In Irish, "Maol Pháidín" is a combination of "maol," which means "bald" or "tonsure," and "Páidín," a diminutive form of "Pádraig," which is the Irish form of the name Patrick.
It is believed that the Poynton surname originated in County Westmeath, located in the province of Leinster. The name was then carried by Irish immigrants to other parts of the world, including England, Scotland, and the United States.
In Ireland, the Poynton name has been recorded in various historical documents dating back to the 17th century. It was found in parish records, land records, and other sources, indicating that the surname was well-established among the Irish population.
Over time, the spelling of the surname may have changed, as is common with many surnames. Variations of the name, such as Poynting, Pointon, and Poyntz, can be found among different branches of the Poynton family.
Today, individuals with the surname Poynton of Irish descent can still be found around the world, continuing their ancestral heritage.
