Simpson means "son of Simon". There must have been men named Simon wherever English was spoken at the time surnames came into use. (I wouldhave guessed that it's English, myself.) Plus, there has historically been great toing and froing between Ireland and Scotland. The best you can do is trace your personal family as far back as you can; then you might have something geographical to go on. Or not! Records can disappear and none of 'em go very far back. Good luck trying.
