The surname Henson has its origins in Ireland, specifically among the Gaelic people. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ó hAonghusa, which means descendant of Aonghus. Aonghus was a popular Irish personal name, derived from the Celtic god of love and youth.
The Henson clan was originally based in County Derry, located in the province of Ulster in northeastern Ireland. They were part of the larger O'Neill dynasty, which held significant power and influence in Irish history. The O'Neills were known for their resistance against English colonization and their strong Irish identity.
During the period of English conquest and colonization in Ireland, many Gaelic families, including the Henson clan, were forced to anglicize their names in order to assimilate into English society. As a result, the surname Ó hAonghusa was anglicized to Henson.
Over time, members of the Henson family migrated from Ireland to different parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. Today, the surname Henson can be found among people of Irish descent in various parts of the globe, serving as a reminder of their rich Gaelic heritage and ancestral ties to Ireland.
