The surname Rawson has a rich history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name originates from the Old English word "rawe" meaning "rough" or "shaggy," and "sunu" meaning "son." This suggests that the original bearer of the name was likely a son with a distinctive or unkempt appearance.
The Rawson surname has been found in various regions of Ireland, with notable concentrations in counties Antrim, Fermanagh, Down, and Tyrone. These areas were historically inhabited by Gaelic-speaking clans, but during the 16th and 17th centuries, English settlers arrived in Ireland, resulting in the Anglicization of many Irish surnames.
It is believed that some individuals with the surname Rawson may have originally been O'Raghallaigh, O'Raghallaighin, or Mac Raith. These Gaelic surnames were gradually transformed into Rawson as the English language influenced Irish culture.
Over time, the Rawson family name spread beyond Ireland, with several individuals emigrating to other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, descendants of those early Irish Rawsons can be found all around the world, proudly celebrating their Irish heritage and carrying on the family name.
