The surname Atkinson, of Irish descent, has a rich, complex history, stemming from centuries ago. The surname is a patronymic form of the name 'Atkin', which is a medieval diminutive of the name Adam. The suffix '-son' implies 'son of', making Atkinson translate to 'son of Atkin' or 'son of Adam'.
In Ireland, the surname Atkinson is mainly found in the northern province of Ulster. The Atkinsons in Ireland are believed to be descendants of a Scottish family who moved to Ireland as part of the 'Plantation of Ulster', a colonization plan implemented by King James I of England in the 17th century. This plan saw the confiscation of land owned by Irish nobility and its subsequent redistribution to settlers from England and Scotland, thus introducing new families, including the Atkinsons, to Ireland.
Over time, the Atkinson families spread across Ireland and blended into the Irish society. Today, people bearing the surname Atkinson of Irish descent can be found all over the world, a testament to the rich history of migration and cultural intermingling that has shaped the surname's journey.
