The surname Harington has its roots in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic name Ó hArrachtáin, which means "descendant of Arrachtán." The name Arrachtán is believed to have derived from the Old Irish word "arracht," meaning "a champion" or "a valiant person."
The Harington family of Irish descent can be linked to Sir John Harington, who was born in England in 1561. Sir John Harington's father, Sir James Harington, had close ties to Ireland and served as the governor of the island during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is likely that the Harington surname made its way to Ireland through these connections.
The Harington family established themselves in Ireland and became prominent landowners and members of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy. Over the centuries, they played significant roles in Irish society, holding positions of power and influence. They were associated with various counties, including Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Dublin.
The Harington surname continued to thrive in Ireland until the 17th century when the English colonization of Ireland resulted in significant changes. Many Irish families, including the Haringtons, faced land confiscations and other hardships. Some members of the Harington family emigrated to England and other parts of the world, while others remained in Ireland and adapted to the changing circumstances.
Today, the surname Harington can still be found among people of Irish descent worldwide, and its history serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Harington family in Ireland.
