The surname Clinton has a rich and complex history that dates back to the Middle Ages. It is British in origin, specifically derived from a Norman family who came to England with William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest. The name is a geographical one, taken from the town of Glympton in Oxfordshire, England, and originally rendered as de Clinton.
Despite its English origins, the Clinton surname also has significant ties to Ireland since the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. Over time, the Clintons became a respected and influential family in the Irish county of Louth, where they held a family seat from early times.
In the course of the centuries, many people with the surname Clinton left Ireland due to the political and religious upheaval, such as the Cromwellian invasion and Penal Laws, which led to a mass exodus of Irish families to America and other parts of the British Empire. One of the most famous bearers of the Clinton name of Irish descent is the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, whose ancestors emigrated from Ireland in the 19th century.
