The surname Tompson, also spelled Thompson, has its origins in the British Isles, particularly in Scotland and England. However, there are also instances of individuals with this surname tracing their ancestry back to Ireland.
The name Tompson is derived from the English and Scottish patronymic surname Thomas, meaning "son of Thomas." Thomas itself is an anglicized form of the Aramaic name Te'oma, which means "twin."
As for its Irish connection, it is believed that some individuals with the surname Tompson in Ireland are descendants of Scottish or English settlers who migrated to Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. The Plantation involved the colonization of Ulster by Protestant settlers, many of whom came from Scotland and England. This migration resulted in the assimilation of Scottish and English surnames, including Tompson, into the Irish population.
Over time, the name Tompson spread throughout Ireland, with individuals of Irish descent bearing this surname found in various counties across the country. Today, the name Tompson continues to be found in both Ireland and other parts of the world, carried by individuals of Irish heritage or those whose ancestors migrated from Ireland.
