Atkinson is an English-language surname. The name is derived from a patronymic form of the Middle English Atkin . The personal name Atkin is one of many pet forms of the name Adam [1]
The name corresponds to the Scottish name Aitchison . The name Atkinson is particularly common in Northern England . At the time of the British Census of 1881,[2] Westmorland (19.8 times the British average), followed by Cumberland , County Durham , Northumberland , Yorkshire , Lincolnshire , Lancashire , Cheshire and Rutland . In Ireland the name is common only in Ulster and particularly in counties Antrim and Down . Some Atkinsons are descended from Planters , although the name was recorded in Ireland before that period.[3]
Acheson is a variation of the name in Scotland and the Border region , having been originally spelt Atzinson (with the 'z' being pronounced as 'y', as in yet ).[3]
