The surname Harrison is of English origin and has been a popular surname in Ireland, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name can be traced back to the medieval period when it was derived from the personal name "Harry" or "Henry," which was a common name among the Normans who invaded England in the 11th century.
As England exerted its influence in Ireland, many English settlers migrated to the country, bringing their surnames with them. The surname Harrison was one such name that became established among the Irish population. Over time, it became anglicized and adopted by many families of Irish descent.
The surname Harrison has various spellings and variations, including Harris, Harryson, and Harries. These different spellings can be attributed to differences in dialect and regional accents.
In Ireland, the name Harrison can be found throughout the country, but it is particularly associated with counties Antrim and Down in Northern Ireland. Many Irish people with the surname Harrison have been able to trace their ancestry back to these regions.
Today, the surname Harrison is common not only in Ireland but also among the Irish diaspora around the world. It serves as a reminder of the historical connections between England and Ireland and the influence of migration on surnames.
