The surname first appeared in Ireland during the 17th century, when many English and Scottish settlers arrived on the island. These settlers established plantations and brought their surnames with them. Thompson quickly gained popularity as a surname among these settlers due to its association with the English and Scottish origins.
In Ireland, the Thompson surname can be found throughout the country, particularly in the regions of Ulster and Northern Ireland, where many of the English and Scottish settlers initially settled. The name has also spread to other parts of the country over the centuries.
