The surname Sutton is of English origin, derived from the Old English word "su�" meaning "south" and "tun" meaning "settlement" or "enclosure." It originally referred to someone who lived to the south of a settlement.
However, there is also a significant presence of the Sutton surname in Ireland, where it has been adopted by Irish families over time. The Irish Suttons are believed to have originated from English settlers who arrived in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century.
Following the invasion, many English families were granted lands in Ireland, and some settled in County Wexford. It is here that the Sutton surname became established, and the family grew in prominence and influence.
Over the centuries, the Irish Suttons integrated with the local Irish population, adopting Gaelic culture and traditions. As a result, the surname Sutton became more common among native Irish families.
Today, the Irish Suttons can be found throughout Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world. They have made significant contributions in various fields, including politics, the arts, and sports. The Sutton surname serves as a reminder of the historical connections between England and Ireland and the rich cultural heritage of those who bear it.
