The surname Thornton has its roots in England, but it also has a notable presence in Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English word �orn which means thorn bush combined with tun meaning enclosure or settlement. Therefore, Thornton originally referred to someone who lived near or worked with thorn bushes. The name first appeared in written records in England in the 11th century.
In Ireland, the Thornton surname can be traced back to the 16th century. During this time, many English settlers arrived in Ireland as part of the Plantation of Ulster, a colonization scheme initiated by the English crown. These settlers were granted land and brought their English surnames with them, including Thornton. Therefore, many Thorntons in Ireland today have English origins.
Over the centuries, the Thornton name spread throughout Ireland, and different branches of the family settled in various counties. Some notable Thorntons emerged, including politicians, clergymen, and scholars. The name has remained relatively common in Ireland, and many Irish Thorntons take pride in their English heritage.
Today, the Thornton surname can be found all over the world, as descendants of Irish and English immigrants have carried it to different continents through migration and colonization.
