The surname Barton has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name originates from the ancient Celtic language, with barr meaning head or top and dun meaning fortress or hill. Therefore, the name Barton is believed to signify fortress on the hill or top of the hill. In Ireland, the Barton surname first emerged in the medieval period.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Barton family migrated from England and settled in various parts of the country. They quickly integrated into Irish society, adopting Gaelic customs and traditions. Over time, multiple branches of the Barton family emerged in different regions of Ireland, such as Munster, Leinster, and Ulster.
The Barton family became well-known and influential in Ireland, with several prominent members holding positions of power. They were involved in politics, military affairs, and commerce, with many engaging in trade and establishing successful businesses.
One notable figure of Irish descent with the surname Barton is Sir Thomas Barton, an influential wine merchant and diplomat who was granted the title of Baronet of Upper Grange in County Kilkenny. His descendants, the Bartons of Grove, played a significant role in the economic and social development of Ireland.
Today, the surname Barton is still prevalent among the Irish diaspora worldwide, reflecting the enduring legacy and impact of the Barton family in Irish history.
