Thompson is a surname of English, Irish and Scottish origin which is a variant of Thomson, meaning 'son of Thom'.

[4] [5] An alternative origin may be geographical, arising from the parish of Thompson in Norfolk. [6]
Several surnames have multiple spellings; this is sometimes due to unrelated families bearing the same surname. A single surname in either language may have multiple translations in the other. In some English translations of the names, the M(a)c- prefix may be omitted in the English, e.g. Bain vs MacBain, Cowan vs MacCowan, Ritchie vs MacRitchie.
