The surname Turton has a fascinating history, particularly for those with Irish heritage. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Mac Toirdhealbhaigh, meaning "son of Toirdhealbhach." This Gaelic name was commonly anglicized to Turton during the 19th century.
The name Toirdhealbhach itself has ancient roots and stems from the Old Norse name Torvaldr, which was introduced to Ireland by Viking settlers. Over time, this name evolved into various forms, including Turloch and Turlough. The Mac Toirdhealbhaigh clan eventually emerged, adopting this name as their own.
This surname has a strong presence in the northern regions of Ireland, particularly in County Tyrone. The Mac Toirdhealbhaigh clan thrived in this area and played important roles in local politics and society.
During the 19th century, many Irish families, including those with the surname Turton, emigrated to other countries due to economic hardships and the Great Famine. As a result, the Turton surname can now be found in various parts of the world, with significant populations in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, individuals with the surname Turton can take pride in their Irish heritage and the rich history associated with the name.
