The surname Boughton has its origins in England and is derived from the Old English word "boc," meaning "beech tree," and the word "tun," meaning "enclosure" or "settlement." This suggests that the name originally referred to someone who lived near a beech tree or in a settlement surrounded by beech trees.
However, the surname Boughton also has Irish connections. During the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a migration of English settlers to Ireland, particularly to the province of Ulster. Many of these settlers brought their English surnames with them, including Boughton.
In Ireland, the Boughton surname became anglicized as variations such as Boughten, Bawden, and Botten. These variations can be found in records and documents from different parts of Ireland, especially in counties such as Antrim, Down, and Armagh, where the English settlement was particularly significant.
Over time, the Boughton surname in Ireland may have further evolved and variations could have emerged based on regional accents and dialects. Today, individuals with the surname Boughton, or its variations, can be found both in Ireland and in other countries where Irish descendants have settled.
