The surname Middleton has a rich and interesting history, particularly in the context of Irish descent. It derives from the Old English words "middel," which means "middle," and "tun," which means "enclosure" or "settlement." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname lived in or near a middle settlement.
The surname Middleton is often found in various counties in Ireland, including Cork, Kerry, and Tipperary. It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Anglo-Normans, who were of English and French origin, arrived in Ireland and established settlements throughout the country. As a result, many English surnames, like Middleton, became established in Ireland.
Over time, the Middleton surname in Ireland became more anglicized, as the bearers of the name adopted the English language and customs. However, despite this anglicization, Middleton remains a recognizable Irish surname today.
The history of the surname Middleton in Ireland is a testament to the complex and intertwined nature of Irish history, with influences from both English and Gaelic traditions.
