The surname Wilson has origins in both England and Ireland. In Ireland, the surname is of Anglo-Norman origin, brought to the country during the 12th century Norman invasion. The name is derived from the Old English personal name Will, meaning desire or will, and the suffix -son, meaning son of. This combination resulted in the surname Wilson, indicating son of Will.
The Wilson surname became widespread in Ireland, particularly in Ulster, where many Scottish and English settlers established themselves. The name was also adopted by native Irish families who anglicized their names during British colonization.
In Ireland, the Wilson surname can be found in records dating back to the 16th century. The name spread throughout the country, becoming one of the most common surnames in Ireland. Today, Wilson remains a popular surname in Ireland, with many descendants tracing their roots back to the original Anglo-Norman settlers or native Irish families who adopted the name.
