The surname Jessop, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to the ancient Gaelic culture of Ireland. The name is derived from the Gaelic surname Mac Iosaig, meaning son of Iosag, which itself is a diminutive form of the personal name Joseph.
The Jessop surname likely originated in County Kerry, an area in southwestern Ireland, where the Mac Iosaig family was prominent. They were part of the powerful Eóganacht Raithlind dynasty, one of the leading dynasties in Munster during the medieval period. The Eóganacht Raithlind ruled over a large territory that included Kerry and parts of modern-day Cork and Limerick.
During the centuries of English colonization and Anglicization of Ireland, many Gaelic surnames, including Mac Iosaig, were anglicized or translated into English equivalents. In the case of Mac Iosaig, it evolved into the surname Jessop, reflecting the phonetic similarity of the two names.
Over time, members of the Jessop family migrated to different parts of Ireland, as well as to other countries such as England, Scotland, and the United States. Today, individuals with the surname Jessop can be found worldwide, carrying with them the heritage and history of their Irish origins.
