The surname Fulton has its origins in Ireland and has a rich history that dates back many centuries. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "MacPhail" or "MacPhaill," which means "son of Paul." The name Paul itself is derived from the Latin name "Paulus," which means "small" or "humble." The MacPhail clan was originally from Scotland and later migrated to Ireland.
In Ireland, the name MacPhail evolved into various spellings, including MacPhaill, MacPhale, McFall, and eventually Fulton. The spelling variations were common due to the lack of standardized spelling in earlier times.
The Fulton family played an influential role in Irish history. They were known for their involvement in politics, education, and the military. Many Fultons held positions of power and prominence, serving as judges, mayors, and community leaders.
During the Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Fultons emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia. They sought better opportunities and contributed to the development of these nations. Today, the Fulton surname can be found in various countries across the globe, reflecting the widespread impact of the Irish diaspora.
In summary, the Fulton surname, of Irish descent, has its roots in the MacPhail clan of Scotland. Over time, the name evolved and became associated with notable figures in Irish history. The migration of Fultons during the Irish diaspora contributed to the global presence of this surname.
