The surname Fitton has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. It is derived from the Old English personal name "Fittan," which means "to fix or fasten." The name was originally a nickname given to someone who was skilled at fixing or fastening things. Over time, it evolved into a surname that was passed down through generations.
The Fitton family has a notable presence in Irish history, with records dating back to the 13th century. They were primarily concentrated in County Meath and County Westmeath, where they owned significant land holdings and played a prominent role in local affairs. The Fittons were known for their involvement in politics, as well as their military service.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced significant turmoil due to English colonization and religious conflict. Many Fittons, like other Irish families, faced hardships and were forced to emigrate. Some members of the Fitton family found refuge in other parts of the British Isles, while others sought opportunities in the Americas and Australia.
Today, the Fitton surname is still found among Irish communities, both within Ireland and in countries with significant Irish diaspora. The name carries a sense of heritage and resilience, reminding us of the struggles and triumphs of the Fitton family throughout history.
