The surname Stockton has an interesting history, particularly among those of Irish descent.
The name Stockton is derived from the Old English words "stocc" meaning "tree trunk" or "log" and "tun" meaning "enclosure" or "settlement." It is believed that the original Stocktons hailed from the village of Stockton in County Durham, England. However, over time, some Stockton families migrated to Ireland.
During the 17th century, significant migration occurred from England to Ireland due to political and religious conflicts. It is likely that some Stockton families were part of this movement.
The Stockton surname may have also been anglicized from an Irish Gaelic name. In some cases, Irish families adopted or were assigned English surnames during English colonization, leading to surname changes. Therefore, it is possible that some Stocktons of Irish descent may have originally had an Irish Gaelic surname that was later changed to Stockton.
As with many surnames, variations of the name Stockton exist, such as Stockden or Stockdill. These variations may have arisen due to different regional pronunciations or spellings.
In summary, the surname Stockton, particularly of Irish descent, has its roots in England but has also been adopted by some families who migrated to Ireland or had their surnames anglicized during English colonization.
