The surname Gibbons, or its variant McGibbons, has its origins in Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic Mac Giobúin, which means son of Giobúin. The prefix Mac indicates son of, and Giobúin is a personal name of uncertain origin.
The Gibbons/McGibbons family can trace its roots back to the ancient Gaelic clans of Ireland. They were originally found in County Mayo in the western province of Connacht, and also in County Roscommon. The Gibbons clan was known for their bravery and loyalty, and they often held positions of authority within their communities.
Many Gibbons/McGibbons, like other Irish families, emigrated during the Great Famine of the mid-19th century, seeking a better life in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. As a result, the surname can now be found in various parts of the world.
Today, the Gibbons/McGibbons surname continues to be an important part of Irish heritage and culture, with many people proud to bear the name. The family crest often features symbols associated with strength, protection, and loyalty, reflecting the characteristics of the clan throughout its history.
