The Simpson Surname History

Historically, the surname Simpson holds noble family roots that genealogy records solidify it as one of the founding families of England settling in Kent in 400 AD. Religious leaders split the surname with many different spellings, such as Simson, Simsoun, Symsoun, and Simpsone while they recorded deaths on documents and tombstones. Eventually, the Simpson migrated from England to Scotland and Ireland where they united with the Fraser clan.

Throughout the centuries, the Simpson family flourished with notable Simpsons like William Simpson of Edinburgh, who, as records show, operated businesses in 1405 that were continued by his sons, Robert, David, and Thomas. During the 1800s, Sir James Simpson made a medical discovery with chloroform. Another notable Simpson in Great Britain was Dr Sutherland Simpson of Cornell.
