The surname Renton has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Raghnaill," which translates to "son of Ragnall." Ragnall, in turn, is derived from the Old Norse name Ragnvaldr, meaning "ruler's advisor" or "ruler's powerful warrior." The name Renton was likely anglicized from Mac Raghnaill during the period when the English language was becoming more dominant in Ireland.
The Renton surname can be traced back to the ancient kingdom of Ulster in Northern Ireland. It is believed that the Rentons were of Norse-Gaelic descent, as the Norse Vikings had a significant influence in the region during the medieval period. The Renton family may have been associated with a specific geographic location in Ulster, such as a town or village.
Over time, many Renton families migrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including Scotland, England, and North America. This occurred during periods of political and economic unrest in Ireland, as well as during the waves of Irish immigration in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, individuals with the surname Renton can be found in various countries, with Ireland, Scotland, and the United States having notable concentrations of Renton descendants.
