The surname Hatton has origins that can be traced back to England, where it was a locational name derived from any of the various places named Hatton, such as those in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, and elsewhere. These place names generally mean "farmstead or settlement on the heath," from the Old English "hæð," meaning "heath," and "tun," meaning "farmstead, settlement."
However, since you're interested in the Irish context, the surname also appears in Ireland. It is often an Anglicization of the Gaelic Ó hAitín or Ó hAidín, which translates to "descendant of Aitín," with "Aitín" being a diminutive of the personal name Áed, meaning "fire" and often anglicized as Hugh.
As for McIlhatton, this is a distinctly Irish surname with a similar Gaelic origin. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic "Mac Giolla Chatáin," which means "son of the devotee of St. Cadán." In this name, "Mac" means "son of," "giolla" means "devotee," and "Chatáin" is a personal name. The McIlhatton name is particularly associated with the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland, where it is most commonly found.
The surnames Hatton and McIlhatton in Ireland thus stem from both Gaelic patronymic traditions and English locational names, reflecting the complex interplay of English and Irish heritage. Their distribution and variation in Ireland can be a result of both immigration and the Anglicization practices that occurred over centuries.
