The surname Tilson, or its variation Tilston, has a long history of Irish descent. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Tóla," meaning "son of the devotee of Tóla."
The name Tóla itself refers to a personal name that was common in Ireland during the medieval period. It is thought to have been derived from the Gaelic word "túathal," meaning "ruler" or "lord."
The Tilson family has deep roots in Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Ulster and Connacht. Many bearers of the surname can be traced back to County Mayo, County Donegal, and County Galway.
During the 19th century, a significant number of Irish immigrants with the surname Tilson or Tilston made their way to the United States in search of better opportunities. They settled in various states, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts.
Over time, variations in spelling and pronunciation have emerged, resulting in different versions of the name. Some common variations include Telson, Telsonne, and Tilsen. These variations can be attributed to factors such as regional accents, phonetic changes, and the influence of immigration officials transcribing names.
