The surname Harrington has Irish roots, deriving from the Gaelic name O'hArrachtain, meaning descendant of Arrachtan. The Harrington family is believed to have originated in County Kerry, Ireland, and has a long and storied history dating back to medieval times.
The first recorded instance of the Harrington surname in Ireland was in the 14th century, when the family held lands in the southwestern part of the country. They were prominent members of the Gaelic nobility and were known for their fierce loyalty to their clan and their homeland.
During the English conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Harringtons were involved in several conflicts with the English authorities, and many members of the family were forced to flee their ancestral lands. Some Harringtons emigrated to the United States and other parts of the British Empire, spreading the surname to new lands.
Today, the Harrington surname is common in Ireland and throughout the English-speaking world, with many descendants of the original clan still proud of their Irish heritage.
