Child of John
The origins of the surname "Jones" were derived from the first name of John (or Jon) through a naming convention called patronymics. (Patronymics is a style of naming in which a child's name is derived from the combination of the child's given namewith their father's first name in order to create a complete name.)
The surname Jones was most widely adopted was the country of Wales. The most likely reason for this was due to passage of "The Act of Union" in 1536. The Act prohibited the use of the Welsh language in official records, thus, Welsh surnames had to be registered in an anglicised (English) form. Many Welsh family names like "Johnnes", "Ieuan" or "Sion" were translated to "Jones" because it was closest anglicized version of many Welsh family names.
