The surname Eglington has its roots in Ireland and has a rich history that can be traced back to ancient Gaelic times. The name itself is of locational origin, deriving from the place name "Eglinton" in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The name Eglinton is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "Eaglais," meaning church, and the suffix "-ton," meaning town or settlement.
The Eglinton family, from which the surname Eglington originated, were prominent landowners in County Londonderry and held the title of Earl of Eglinton. They were influential figures in Irish society and played significant roles in politics and land management.
During the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, many Irish people were forced to emigrate due to poverty and starvation. As a result, several families with the surname Eglington left Ireland and settled in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Over time, the spelling of the name may have undergone changes, resulting in variations such as Eglinton or Eglinton.
Today, individuals with the surname Eglington can be found worldwide, but many still have ancestral ties to Ireland. The name carries with it a sense of heritage and a connection to Irish history and culture.
