The surname Broughton has its roots in England and Scotland, but it is also associated with Irish descent.
The name itself is derived from the Old English words "broc" meaning brook or stream, and "tun" meaning settlement or town. It was originally a locational surname, given to those who lived in or near a town by a brook or stream.
In Ireland, the Broughton surname is believed to have been brought over by English settlers during the Plantation of Ulster in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time, many English and Scottish families were encouraged to settle in Ireland, particularly in Ulster.
As a result, the Broughton surname became established in various parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Antrim, Down, and Derry. Over time, different branches of the Broughton family spread across the country.
Today, individuals with the surname Broughton can still be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name has become part of the rich tapestry of Irish surnames, representing the diverse history of the island.
