The surname Sutton has its origins in England and can be traced back to the Old English word "suth" meaning "south" and "tun" meaning "settlement" or "enclosure." It originally denoted someone who lived in or near a southern settlement.
In the context of Irish descent, the surname Sutton is believed to have been introduced to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Suttons were a prominent Norman family who settled in various parts of the country, particularly in County Wexford.
The earliest recorded mention of the Sutton surname in Ireland dates back to the 13th century. Over time, the Suttons became established as landed gentry, holding significant estates and positions of influence. They played notable roles in Irish history and were involved in local administration and military affairs.
The Suttons of Ireland were mainly found in southeastern counties such as Wexford, Kilkenny, and Carlow. They were associated with important castles and towns in these areas. The family's influence waned during the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and subsequent political and social changes.
Today, individuals with the surname Sutton of Irish descent can be found throughout Ireland and in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with historical ties to Ireland, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
