The surname Abingdon or Abington, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. It is believed to originate from the town of Abingdon, located in Oxfordshire, England. The name itself is derived from the Old English words "abb," meaning "abbey," and "dun," meaning "hill." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname may have resided near or worked at an abbey situated on a hill in Abingdon.
Over time, some individuals with the surname Abingdon migrated to Ireland, primarily during the period of English colonization. This led to the establishment of an Irish branch of the family, known as the Abingdon or Abingtons. The Irish Abingdons were predominantly found in County Limerick, where they became prominent landowners.
The Abingdons of Irish descent played significant roles in the local community, holding positions of influence and participating in various civic activities. They were known for their involvement in politics, military service, and the arts. The family also had connections to other notable Irish families, further solidifying their position within Irish society.
Today, descendants of the Abingdon or Abington family can still be found in Ireland and throughout the world. The surname carries with it a rich history and serves as a reminder of the ancestral ties that connect individuals to both England and Ireland.
