The surname Wilton has its origins in Ireland, deriving from the Old English word "wiell-tun", which means "farm by the spring". It is believed to have been brought to Ireland by Anglo-Norman settlers during the 12th century. The name was anglicized from its original form, "de Wiveltone", to Wilton over time.
The Wilton family is thought to have settled primarily in County Cork and County Clare in the province of Munster. They were known to be landowners and farmers, and their presence in Ireland can be traced back to medieval times.
During the centuries that followed, the Wilton surname spread across Ireland, with branches of the family establishing themselves in different parts of the country. They became part of the local communities and contributed to various aspects of Irish society.
It is important to note that while the Wilton surname is of English origin, many families of Irish descent adopted this surname due to intermarriage or migration. Therefore, not all individuals with the surname Wilton in Ireland may have direct English ancestry.
Today, the Wilton surname can still be found in different parts of Ireland, and individuals with this surname continue to carry on their ancestral legacy.
