Best Answer

The surname Allen has origins in England, France, and Ireland. It was brought to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD, and is derived from the given name Alan. The name Allen in France belongs to a very particular southern region that was once known as Languedoc. And while the majority of the Allens in Ireland are of English or Scottish origins, there were Irish bearers of the surname which was derived from the the Gaelic name "O Hailin".
