Mac Names

  1. Mackay
    • Origin:

      Gaelic, variation of Mackayla
    • Meaning:

      "son of Aodh; who is like God"
    • Description:

      MacKay is the Anglicized form of Mac Aodha, meaning "son of Aodh" in Gaelic. Aodh is the origin of names such as Aidan and Hugh, making McKay a subtle way to honor people with those names. It could also work as an alternative for of Mackayla, derived from Michael, or to honor a Kay.

    • Mackinsey
      • Mcneill
        • Mcarthur

          • Description:

            The Mc and Mac surnames are asserting themselves as first names and this is one of the most popular. Though outside the U.S. Top 1000, it's among the fastest rising names for boys.
        • Mcenroe
          • Origin:

            Scottish
          • Meaning:

            "hound of the promontory"
          • Description:

            Scottish and Irish Mac and Mc surnames are definitely up for consideration, and this one has sports cred via its link to tennis champ John. It was one of the fastest-rising names on Nameberry in early 2018, though this hasn't translated into real-life use yet. We still think it's one of the coolest undiscovered Scottish names for boys.
