The surname Allenson, of Irish descent, has an interesting history. The name is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Alasdair, which means "son of Alasdair." Alasdair, in turn, is the Gaelic form of the name Alexander.
The Mac Alasdair clan was originally located in the western part of Ireland, particularly in counties Galway and Mayo. They were known for their strength and bravery, often engaging in battles and warfare. The clan also had close ties with other prominent Irish families, such as the O'Connors and the O'Flahertys.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced a period of colonization and upheaval. Many Irish families, including the Mac Alasdair clan, were forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands by English settlers. This led to the scattering of the clan members, with some migrating to other parts of Ireland and others emigrating to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Over time, the surname Mac Alasdair underwent changes in pronunciation and spelling. This was due to various factors, including the influence of the English language and the difficulties in translating Gaelic names into English. The name eventually evolved into the anglicized form Allenson, which is now commonly found among individuals of Irish descent. Today, the surname Allenson serves as a reminder of the rich Irish heritage and the resilience of those who carried the name throughout history.
