The surname Chesworth has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. It is believed to be of Anglo-Saxon origin, with the name deriving from the Old English elements "ceosan," meaning "to choose," and "worth," meaning "enclosure" or "settlement." The name was originally a locational surname, indicating that the original bearers were residents of a place called Chesworth or a similar variant.
Over time, the Chesworth surname spread to Ireland, likely through Anglo-Norman settlers during the medieval period. These settlers came to Ireland from England, Wales, and Normandy, and brought their surnames with them. The Chesworth surname would have been anglicized during this period to fit into the Irish language and naming conventions. It is also possible that some individuals of Irish descent adopted the Chesworth surname due to marriage or association with English settlers.
The distribution of the Chesworth surname in Ireland is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties such as Antrim, Down, and Armagh. This suggests that the name may have originated in these areas and subsequently spread to other parts of the country. Today, individuals with the surname Chesworth can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with historical connections to Ireland, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
