The surname Barrington has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. It is derived from an Anglo-Norman name, de Barentin, which indicates that the family originally came from the town of Barentin in Normandy, France. They arrived in England during the Norman Conquest of 1066 and eventually made their way to Ireland.
The Barringtons established themselves in County Limerick, Ireland, where they became prominent landowners and held positions of power during the medieval period. They were granted extensive lands in the region, including the town of Glenstal, where they built a castle that still stands today.
Throughout the centuries, the Barrington family continued to play influential roles in Irish society. They were involved in politics, with several family members serving as Members of Parliament and Lords. Additionally, they were actively engaged in cultural pursuits, supporting the arts and education.
In the 19th century, Sir Jonah Barrington, a notable member of the family, gained recognition as a writer and judge. His memoirs, Personal Sketches of His Own Times, provide valuable insights into Irish history and society during that period.
Today, the surname Barrington is relatively rare but still exists among Irish-descended families, serving as a reminder of the family's enduring legacy in Ireland.
