The surname Littleton has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Mhín," meaning "son of the servant of the smooth one." Over time, this name evolved into "McEntaggart" or "McGilmartin."
During the 17th century, when many Irish families were forced to anglicize their names, the surname Littleton emerged as an alternative. It was derived from the name of a village in Staffordshire, England, where some Irish families settled.
The Littleton family, originally from County Wexford in Ireland, played an important role in Irish history. Sir Thomas Littleton, an influential lawyer and politician, was instrumental in drafting the Act of Union 1800, which brought Ireland and Great Britain together.
The Irish Littletons are also associated with various land holdings in Ireland, particularly in County Tipperary. They were prominent landowners and are often connected to the town of Thurles.
Today, people with the surname Littleton of Irish descent can be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, England, the United States, Canada, and Australia. They continue to carry a rich heritage with them, reflecting their Irish roots and contributions to history.
