The surname Jackson has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name itself originates from the Middle English personal name "Jackin," which is a diminutive form of the given name Jack. This personal name was quite popular in England during the medieval period.
The surname Jackson first emerged in Ireland during the 17th century, when many English and Scottish settlers arrived in the country. These settlers, known as the Planters, often adopted Irish surnames or modified their own names to fit the Irish language. As a result, the surname Jackson became more common in Ireland during this time.
The Jacksons who settled in Ireland were predominantly of English or Scottish origin. They came to Ireland as part of the colonization efforts by the English and Scottish governments. Many of these settlers were incentivized to move to Ireland through land grants and other privileges.
Over time, the surname Jackson became established in various parts of Ireland, including Ulster and the northern counties. Today, many individuals with the surname Jackson can trace their roots back to these early settlers. The name has since spread throughout the country and has become a common surname among people of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled.
