The surname Meiklejohn, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history that dates back many centuries. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Eoin, which translates to "son of the servant of John." The prefix "Mac" denotes "son of," and "Giolla Eoin" means "servant of John." Over time, the name Mac Giolla Eoin gradually evolved into Meiklejohn as a result of linguistic changes and anglicization.

The Meiklejohn family can trace its roots to the ancient kingdom of Ulster in Ireland. During the medieval period, Ireland experienced a period of turmoil and conflict, with various clans vying for power and territory. The Mac Giolla Eoin clan was among those families that played a significant role in the social and political landscape of this era.

In the early 17th century, Ireland faced a series of events that would shape its history. The Plantations of Ireland, a policy introduced by the English Crown, aimed to colonize Ireland with Protestant settlers. Many Irish families, including the Meiklejohns, were displaced from their ancestral lands and forced to migrate to other parts of Ireland or even emigrate to other countries.

As a result of these migrations, Meiklejohns with Irish ancestry can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with large Irish diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, the surname Meiklejohn serves as a testament to the resilience and rich heritage of those with Irish roots.
