The surname Lyon has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name Lyon is derived from the Old Gaelic word "Liath" which means "grey" or "dark." This suggests that the original Lyon family may have had either dark or grey hair.
The Lyon surname is believed to have originated in County Clare and County Cork in Ireland. It is thought that the first Lyon family may have arrived in Ireland during the 17th century, possibly as part of the wave of Scottish migration that occurred during that time.
During this period, many Scottish families, including those with the surname Lyon, migrated to Ireland due to land scarcity and economic opportunities. Over time, the Lyon surname became more prevalent in Ireland, particularly in the counties where the original Lyon family settled.
The Lyon surname has continued to be passed down through generations, cementing its place in Irish history and heritage. Today, individuals with the surname Lyon can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish diaspora has spread.
Overall, the Lyon surname carries with it a sense of Irish identity and history, connecting individuals to their ancestral roots in County Clare and County Cork.
