The surname St John, of Irish descent, has a rich and interesting history. It is derived from the French name "Seint Jehan", meaning "Saint John". It is believed to have originated from the Normans who invaded Ireland in the 12th century.
The Normans, who were of Viking origin, brought their own naming traditions to Ireland. They often adopted the names of saints to show their devotion to Christianity. The name "Seint Jehan" became anglicized as "St John" over time.
The St John family played an important role in Irish history. They were prominent landowners and held positions of power and influence. They were known for their strong military background, and many members of the St John family served as knights and fought in various battles and wars.
Over the centuries, the St John surname spread throughout Ireland. However, it is important to note that not all individuals with the last name St John are of Irish descent. The name has also been adopted by families of English, Scottish, and French origins.
