The surname Skelton has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name originates from the Old Norse word "skjald," meaning shield, and the Old Norse personal name "Tuni." Over time, this combination evolved into the surname Skelton.
In Ireland, the Skelton surname is primarily associated with County Cavan. The Skelton family can be traced back to the medieval period, where they were known as an influential Anglo-Norman family. They were granted lands in County Cavan during the 13th century by the English Crown.
The Skelton family played a significant role in the history of the region. They were involved in local governance and held positions of power within the county. Additionally, they were prominent landowners and played an active role in the agricultural and economic development of the area.
Throughout history, the Skelton surname has spread beyond County Cavan, with descendants of the family migrating to other parts of Ireland and even to other countries. Today, individuals with the surname Skelton can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in areas with significant Irish diaspora communities.
