The surname Hewson, particularly of Irish descent, has its etymological roots in the early medieval era. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic personal name "Aodh," which means "fire" and was a common given name in Gaelic culture, often attributed to the ancient Celtic god of the underworld and later, with the advent of Christianity, adapted to "Hugh" in English. The "son" suffix was a typical way of forming surnames, indicating "son of Hugh."
The Hewson family name likely originated in the province of Ulster in the north of Ireland, where the name was spread and became well-established. This area had close ties with Scotland, and there was considerable movement between the two regions, which also influenced the occurrence of similar surnames across the Irish Sea. Over time, as Irish families emigrated due to various reasons including the Great Famine in the 19th century, the name Hewson dispersed to other countries, notably England, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Within Ireland and amongst the diaspora, individuals with the surname Hewson have contributed significantly to various fields such as the arts, politics, and academia. One of the most well-known contemporary figures bearing this surname is Paul David Hewson, known by his stage name Bono, the lead vocalist of the Irish rock band U2. His international fame has brought contemporary attention to the surname, highlighting its Irish heritage on a global platform.
