The surname Dodington has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent.
The name is believed to have originated from the medieval English village of Dodington, located in Gloucestershire. In the 12th century, during the Norman invasion, many English families migrated to Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. This likely explains the presence of the Dodington surname in Ireland.
Over time, the Dodington family in Ireland established themselves in various regions, including County Meath and County Wicklow. They became prominent landowners and were involved in local affairs.
One notable individual with the Dodington surname was John Dodington, who served as the High Sheriff of County Meath in the 17th century. He played a significant role in the governance and administration of the county.
Today, individuals with the surname Dodington can be found both in Ireland and in other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to emigration. The name continues to be passed down through generations, preserving the family's Irish heritage and history.
