Thompson (surname)
Thompson is a surname of English origin, with Thomson, originally meaning 'son of Thomas (twin)' being the more common spelling in Scotland. An alternative origin may be geographical, arising from the parish of Thompson in Norfolk. During the Plantation period, settlers carried the name to Ireland. Thom(p)son is also the English translation of MacTavish, which is the Anglicised version of the Gaelic name ''MacTamhais''. According to the 2010 United States Census, Thompson was the 23rd most frequently reported surname, accounting for 0.23% of the population.
