The surname Egerton has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name is of Anglo-Norman origin and is believed to have originally derived from the Old English personal name "Ecgheard," meaning "rich in sword." Over time, this name evolved into various forms, including Ecgerton and Eggerton, before settling on its present spelling.
The Egerton family can trace its roots back to Sir William de Egerton, who arrived in Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. Sir William was granted lands in County Tipperary and became a prominent figure in the region. The Egerton name became well-established in Ireland, with branches of the family spreading across the country.
During the Tudor period, the Egerton family rose to even greater prominence when Sir Richard Egerton became Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He played a significant role in the administration of justice in the country and was heavily involved in the English colonization efforts in Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Egerton can still be found in Ireland, although the name has also spread to other parts of the world, especially to the United Kingdom and the United States. The Egerton name continues to carry a sense of heritage and pride for those of Irish descent.
