The surname Levington has an interesting history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English word "leofingtun," which means "settlement of the descendants of Leofa." It is believed that Leofa was a personal name used in the early medieval period.
The Levington surname can be traced back to various regions in Ireland, including County Cork and County Limerick. It is likely that the name originated in England and was brought over to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
During this time, many English settlers arrived in Ireland and established settlements throughout the country. They often adopted local surnames to blend into the Irish community. The Levington surname was likely adopted by English settlers who wanted to assimilate while still retaining their English heritage.
Over the centuries, the Levington name spread throughout Ireland, with families residing in different parts of the country. Some Levington families became prominent landowners and held positions of influence in their respective communities.
Today, the surname Levington is relatively rare, and those who bear the name can take pride in their unique Irish heritage and the historical significance of their family name.
