The surname Aldington has its roots in Irish ancestry. It is believed to be derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Andeáin," which translates to "son of the servant of St. Andrew." The name was originally associated with the Clan MacDonnell of Antrim, who were descendants of a Scottish lord named Somerled. The clan held significant power and influence in Ireland during the medieval period.
Over time, the name Mac Giolla Andeáin underwent various phonetic changes, eventually evolving into Aldington. The surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in the provinces of Ulster and Munster. Many Irish families adopted the surname as a way to show their connection to the MacDonnells and their Scottish roots.
The Aldingtons of Irish descent often held positions of importance within their communities. They were known for their strong leadership, loyalty, and dedication to their heritage. The name Aldington became a symbol of pride and identity for these families.
Today, individuals with the surname Aldington can still be found in Ireland and in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with large Irish diasporas. The name serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people.
