The surname Gibson, of Irish descent, has an interesting and varied history. It is of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the personal name 'Gibb', a short form of the Norman personal name 'Gilbert'. It is also thought to have Gaelic origins, derived from the Gaelic personal name 'Mac Gibbon', meaning 'son of the hunchback'.
The Gibson surname first appeared in Ireland during the 17th century, when Scottish and English settlers arrived in the country. Many of these settlers were granted land by English monarchs, and they brought their surnames with them. The Gibson surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in the northern counties such as Antrim and Down.
During the 19th century, many Irish people emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As a result, the Gibson surname became well-established in these countries, and it is now one of the most common surnames in English-speaking countries.
Today, people with the Gibson surname can be found all over the world, and many of them are proud of their Irish heritage. The name has evolved and its history has been shaped by the migrations and settlements of the Irish people over the centuries.
