The surname Denton has its origins in England, specifically in the town of Denton in Lancashire. It is derived from the Old English words "denu," meaning "valley," and "tun," meaning "enclosure" or "settlement." The name was originally used to describe someone who lived in or near a valley settlement.
However, there are also instances of the surname Denton being of Irish descent. During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish families migrated to England due to political and economic reasons. Some of these families adopted English surnames, including Denton, to assimilate into English society.
In Ireland, the name Denton is relatively uncommon, but it can still be found in certain regions. It is believed that some families with the surname Denton in Ireland are descendants of English settlers who arrived during the plantation period in the 16th and 17th centuries. These settlers were given land in Ireland, and their descendants adopted local surnames, resulting in the presence of the Denton surname in Ireland.
Overall, while the surname Denton predominantly has English origins, there are instances of Irish families adopting the name. The surname's presence in Ireland can be attributed to both English settlers and Irish families who migrated to England and adopted English surnames.
