The surname Johns, of Irish descent, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to ancient times. The name derives from the given name John, which is of Hebrew origin and means "God is gracious."
In Ireland, the surname Johns is often associated with the anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Mac Eoin," meaning "son of John." The prefix "Mac" denotes "son of," and Eoin is the Irish form of John. Over time, the name Mac Eoin evolved into Johns, as many Irish families began adopting anglicized surnames during the English colonization of Ireland.
During the Middle Ages, Ireland experienced multiple waves of English immigration, resulting in the influence of English culture and language. As a result, many Irish families adopted English surnames, including Johns. This surname was commonly found in various parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Cork, Galway, and Mayo.
The Irish surname Johns has spread beyond Ireland's shores, as many Irish immigrants dispersed to different parts of the world. Today, individuals with the surname Johns can be found in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, among others.
