Hampson (surname)
One theory is that Hampson (Hempson, O'Hampson, O'hAmhsaigh, O'Hampsey) is an Irish surname. The small clan of O’hAmhsaigh (O’Hampsey) had become O'Hamson by 1659, when it is recorded in the census of 1659 as one of the principal Irish surnames in the barony of Keenaght, and as O'Hampson and Hampson it is found in the contemporary Hearth Money Rolls for County Londonderry. Within Ireland, variants of the surname Hampson or Hampsey originated as shortened Anglicized forms of the Gaelic surname Ó hAmhsaigh, meaning ‘descendant of Amhsach’. Amhsach’ is a byname meaning ‘mercenary soldier’ or ‘messenger’, and derives from the Old Irish adjective amhasach ‘aggressive’. After 1700, the name is seldom seen except as Hanson or Hampson, though the Irish musician Denis O’Hampson, 1695–1793, County Londonderry, is known to have used O'Hampsey/Hempson as alternative forms. Wills and other records indicate that for the past two centuries members of the clan were t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
