The surname Vernon has a rich history, particularly in relation to Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Fearghuis," meaning "son of Fearghus."
Fearghus, in turn, is derived from the Old Irish word "fear," meaning "man," and "gus," meaning "vigor" or "force." The surname Mac Fearghuis eventually evolved into Mac Vernon, and subsequently, simply Vernon.
The Vernon family can trace its roots back to Normandy in France, where they were originally known as "de Verenai" or "de Vernon." They are believed to have arrived in England with William the Conqueror during the Norman invasion of 1066. Over the centuries, the family spread throughout England and eventually settled in Ireland.
The Irish Vernons mainly resided in County Galway, County Mayo, and County Roscommon. They were known for their involvement in various aspects of Irish society, including landownership, politics, and military service. Some notable members of the Vernon family include Sir George Vernon, who was the High Sheriff of Galway in the 17th century, and Edmund Vernon, a prominent lawyer and Member of Parliament in the 19th century.
The surname Vernon has remained relatively common in Ireland, and many individuals with Irish heritage proudly bear this name today.
