The surname Jefferson has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Sheórais, which means "son of Seóras." Seóras is the Irish form of the name George. The prefix "Mac" signifies "son of" in Gaelic. During the centuries when surnames were adopting, the name Mac Sheórais evolved into various forms, such as MacGheoraidh and MacGhearradh. Over time, these variations eventually became Jefferson due to anglicization. The Jefferson name is associated with Irish ancestry, but it is important to note that not all people with the surname Jefferson are of Irish descent. Some Jeffersons may have adopted the surname for other reasons or have ancestry from different regions. It is believed that the Jefferson surname first appeared in Ireland during the medieval period. Many Irish surnames were formed during this time as a means to distinguish different families or lineages. These surnames were often based on the names of ancestors, occupations, or notable characteristics. As with many surnames, the Jefferson name may have spread through migration and emigration. Irish families with the name Jefferson may have moved to different parts of Ireland or even to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, or Australia.
