  • Scottish Naming Customs Craig L
    Scottish Naming Customs Craig L. Foster AG® [email protected] Origins of Scottish Surnames Surnames are said to have begun to be used by Scottish nobility at the direction of King Malcolm Ceannmor in about 1061. William L. Kirk, Jr. “Introduction to the Derivation of Scottish Surnames,” Clan Macrae (1992), http://www.clanmacrae.ca/documents/names.htm “In some Highland areas, though, fixed surnames did not become the norm until the 18th century, and in parts of the Northern Isles until the 19th century.” “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Types of Scottish Surnames Location-Based Surnames Some people were named for localities. For example, the surname “Murray from the lands of Moray, and Ogilvie, which, according to Black, derives from the barony of Ogilvie in the parish of Glamis, Angus. Tenants might in turn assume, or be given, the name of their landlord, despite having no kinship with him.” Sometimes surnames referred to a specific topographical feature of the landscape such as a river, a loch, a hill, etc. Some examples might include: Names that contain 'kirk' (as in Kirkland, or Selkirk) which means 'church' in Gaelic; 'Muir' or names that contain it (means 'moor' in Gaelic); A name which has 'Barr' in it (this means 'hilltop' in Gaelic). “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Occupational Surnames A significant amount of surnames come from occupations. So a smith became known as Smith or Gow (Gaelic for smith), a tailor became Tailor/Taylor, a baker was Baxter, a weaver was Webster, etc. “Surnames,”ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Descriptive Surnames “Nicknames were 'descriptional' ie.

  • Disingenuous Information About Clan Mactavish (The Clan Tavish Is an Ancient Highland Clan)
    DISINGENUOUS INFORMATION ABOUT CLAN MACTAVISH (THE CLAN TAVISH IS AN ANCIENT HIGHLAND CLAN) BY PATRICK L. THOMPSON, CLAN MACTAVISH SEANNACHIE COPYRIGHT © 2018, PATRICK L. THOMPSON THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED, COPIED, OR STORED ON ANY OTHER SYSTEM WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. SANCTIONED CLAN MACTAVISH SOCIETIES OR THEIR MEMBERS MAY REPRODUCE AND USE THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. The more proper title of the clan is CLAN TAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Tamhais ), but it is commonly known as CLAN MACTAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann MacTamhais ). The amount of disingenuous information found on the internet about Clan MacTavish is AMAZING! This document is meant to provide a clearer and truthful understanding of Clan MacTavish and its stature as recorded historically in Scotland. Certain statements/allegations made about Clan MacTavish will be addressed individually. Disingenuous statement 1: Thom(p)son is not MacTavish. That statement is extremely misleading. The Clans, Septs, and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands (CSRSH), 8th Edition, 1984, pp. 301, 554, Frank Adam, revised by Lord Lyon Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, states: pg. 111 Date of the 8th Edition of CSRSH is 1984, and pages 331 & 554 therein reflects that MacTavish is a clan, and that Thompson and Thomson are MacTavish septs. It does not say that ALL Thom(p)sons are of Clan MacTavish; as that would be a totally false assumption. Providing a reference footnote was the most expedient method to correct a long-held belief that MacTavish was a sept of Campbell, without reformatting the pages in this section.

  • Clan SEMPILL
    Clan SEMPILL ARMS Argent, a chevron chequy Gules and of the First between three hunting horns sable garnished and stringed of the Second CREST A stag’s head Argent attired with ten tynes Azure and collard with a prince’s crown Or MOTTO Keep tryst SUPPORTERS Two greyhounds Argent, collared Gules STANDARD The Arms in the hoist and of two tracts Gules and Argent, upon which is depicted three times the Crest, ensigned of a Baron’s coronet along with the Motto ‘Keep tryst’ in letters Gules upon two transverse bands Or A name known in Renfrewshire from the twelfth century, its origin is obscure. The suggestion that it is a corruption of ‘St Paul’ seem unlikely, as is the tradition that the 1st of the name had a reputation for being humble or simple. Robert de Sempill witnessed a charter to Paisley Abbey around 1246, and later, as chamberlain of Renfrew, a charter of the Earl of Lennox. His two sons, Robert and Thomas, supported Robert the Bruce, and both were rewarded by the king for their services. The elder son received all the lands around Largs in Ayrshire which had been confiscated from the Balliols. Thomas received a grant of half of the lands of Longniddry. The lands of Eliotstoun, which became the territorial designation of the chiefly line, were acquired prior to 1344. Sir Thomas Sempill of Eliotstoun fell at the Battle of Sauchiefurn fighting for James III in June 1488. His only son, John, succeeded to the family estates, and early in the reign of James IV – probably in 14188 – he was ennobled with the title, Lord Sempill.

  • Thoughts on the Possible Scottish Origins of the Robb Emigres to America 1
    Thoughts on the Possible Scottish Origins of the Robb Emigres to America 1 Possible Clan Associations of the Robbs of Scotland The surname Robb is one of scores of surnames (e.g. MacRobb, Robison) derived from the personal name Robert, and many of these derivatives also have patronymic forms (e.g. Robertson, Robson, MacRobb). The particular version that resulted in the modern surname Robb was probably “Rob”, a pet name for Robert. But which Robert, or Roberts, of the tens of thousands living at the time when hereditary surnames were first adopted? When one thinks of Scottish surnames, one thinks of the clans, and the most authoritative and comprehensive source on the clans that I have found, is Frank Adam, The Clans, Septs and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands (see list of SOURCES below). The surname Robb, per se, occurs in this book only in an appendix that associates sept surnames with that of clans to which the septs were attached: Robb is said here to have been a sept of the McFarlanes. However, the book has a special chapter with sections for each of the principal clans, which touch on the high points of their origins, history, location(s) and traditions. More to the point, we find here an alternate rehearsal of the associated sept names, often together with some circumstantial detail. The sept name, “Robb”, does not appear in the section on the McFarlane clan, and the sept-clan index in the appendix is evidently not an index to the book as a whole; thus there is no comprehensive index.
