The surname Croxton has its origins in Ireland. It is believed to be an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Mac Roisteáin," meaning "son of Roisteáin." This surname can be traced back to the early medieval period in Ireland.
During this time, surnames started to become more common in Ireland, with many families adopting them to distinguish themselves. The Mac Roisteáin family likely chose their surname to honor an ancestor named Roisteáin, whose exact identity and significance are unknown.
Over the centuries, the Croxton family spread throughout Ireland, particularly in regions where Gaelic culture and traditions were strong. They were likely farmers or landowners, as agriculture played a crucial role in Irish society.
However, during the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced English colonization and the Plantation of Ireland. This led to significant social, political, and cultural changes, as well as the Anglicization of many Irish surnames, including Mac Roisteáin, which became Croxton.
Today, individuals with the surname Croxton can be found throughout Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world. As with many Irish surnames, the history and meaning behind Croxton remind us of the rich and diverse heritage of the Irish people.
