The surname Maxtone has its origins in Scotland and is of Anglo-Norman origin. It is believed to have been introduced to Ireland during the 17th century when many Scottish families migrated there. The name Maxtone is derived from the personal name "Maccus," which was a common Scandinavian name, and the Old English word "tun," meaning "enclosure" or "settlement." This suggests that the name originally referred to someone who lived near or owned an enclosure or settlement.
As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Maxtone have evolved over time. Variations of the surname include Maxtone, Maxton, Maxtone-Maxton, and Macsone. Irish descendants of the Maxtone family are likely to have retained the original spelling of the surname.
It is important to note that while Maxtone is primarily of Scottish origin, there may be individuals of Irish descent who bear this surname due to intermarriage and migration between Scotland and Ireland over the centuries. The surname Maxtone can be found in various parts of Ireland, particularly in areas where Scottish settlement was prominent. Today, individuals with the surname Maxtone can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, as the Maxtone family has spread and established itself in different countries.
