The surname Fulton has its origins in Ireland. It is believed to be of Gaelic origin, derived from the Gaelic personal name Foghlaidh, meaning pirate or sea warrior. The name was later anglicized to Fulton.
The first recorded instance of the surname Fulton in Ireland dates back to the 13th century. The Fultons were associated with the county of Kildare, in the province of Leinster, and were known for their involvement in local affairs and their connections to the ruling families of the area.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, many Fultons migrated to Scotland and England, where the name became more widespread. This was due to the political and economic upheaval in Ireland at the time, which prompted many families to seek new opportunities and a fresh start abroad.
In Scotland, the Fultons were known for their involvement in the textile and weaving industries, and the name became associated with these trades. The surname Fulton has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States and Canada, where many Irish immigrants settled and brought their family names with them.
Today, the surname Fulton is found worldwide, but its origins in Ireland and its connection to the Gaelic language and culture continue to shape its history and significance.
