The surname Kingdon is of English origin and is derived from the Old English words cyning meaning king and dun meaning hill. It was originally a topographic name given to someone who lived near or on a hill associated with a king. The surname Kingdon is predominantly found in England, especially in the southwest region of Cornwall and Devon.
However, in terms of Irish descent, the surname Kingdon has a much lesser presence. It is believed that some individuals with the surname Kingdon may have migrated from England to Ireland during periods of English rule, particularly during the Plantation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries. This colonization process involved the settlement of English and Scottish families in Ireland, with the aim of exerting greater English control over the island.
Over time, some Kingdon families may have assimilated into Irish culture, intermarried with local Irish people, and adopted Irish customs and traditions. However, due to the relatively small number of Kingdons with Irish roots and the lack of extensive historical records, tracing the specific history and lineage of the surname Kingdon in Ireland is challenging.
In summary, while the surname Kingdon has its origins in England, it is possible to find individuals of Irish descent with this surname due to historical migrations and assimilation.
