Gibson Coat of Arms

The surname Gibson, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic name "MacGibbshin," meaning "son of Gibbshin," a personal name of uncertain origin.

The Gibson family is believed to have originated in Scotland and later migrated to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. This was a time when English and Scottish settlers were encouraged to move to Ireland, resulting in a significant influx of new surnames.

Over time, the Gibson family established themselves in various regions of Ireland, including Ulster, Leinster, and Munster. They were often found in counties such as Antrim, Down, and Dublin.

As Ireland faced periods of political and social unrest, many families, including the Gibsons, emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, the surname Gibson can be found in numerous countries, reflecting the diaspora of the Irish people.

The Gibson name has also gained prominence through individuals who have achieved notable accomplishments. One such example is Charles Dana Gibson, an American artist known for his illustrations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His iconic Gibson Girl illustrations helped shape the image of the modern American woman.
