MCKENZE: Pronounced Mackaingye, Gaelic MacCoinnich or MacC(h)oinnich, 'son of Coinneach.' in Adamnan the name is Cainnechus, which is an adjective from the root cann, 'fair, bright.' The English form of the name is interesting as preserving the mediaeval Gaelic pronunciation of the genitive, which in early Irish is Cainnigh, pronounced 'cainny.
Read More About This Surname

The son of Kenneth, which signifies a chieftain. The family are descended from Colin Fitzgerald, a scion of the Kildare family in Ireland, who in 1263 came to Scotland to assist Alexander III. against the Danes, and he behaved so well at the battle of Largis in Coningham, that he was in 1266 rewarded with the Barony of Kintail, in which he was succeeded by his son Kenneth, whose descendants were called Mackennie, afterwards varied into MacKenzie.




I already know my line, and none of its Irish

"The meaning of this surname is not listed."

Well, that's okay, I already know what it means. It's Finnish, and it means "patient"--as in, a doctor's patient. Kinda lame but whatever. Sucks to know that I'l never be concrete on my complete ancestry, though.

On my dad's side (family name)
We wuz irish kangs and shiet
Like actual kings too, not just the gibs kind.

After we wuz kangs we wuz clerks, scribes, priests and a lot of chroniclers/historians too, so it makes looking back through the family tree pretty easy with all the well kept records.

You get to Maine of Tethba with certainty and then there is a bit of confusion as to whether he was a biological or adopted son of Niall of the Nine Hostages (absolute madman tbh) so it's 50/50 on that but it still traces back to the 4th century thereabouts.

If you look at my mother's side though, you find one of the last people in bongistan who got burned at the stake for witchcraft (ayy lmao)

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
My surname for the most part means "at the mor" or in a boggy area.
And it's the most common in England and the US.

Except for in Scotland where it means "Great, Tall"

Also, my surname is from my papa who is scottish so I think that's where it's from.

O'Donnell - The descendants of Donal, an ancient Irish family, who trace their descent through Donal to Niollus Magnus, the ancestor of the O'Neills, known as Nial Niagallach, Nial of the nine hostages. The O'Donnells ruled the territory of Tirconnell, for thirteen generations. (See Donald.)

Also part of the O'Mahony's, which comes from Mahon - Bear.

Mother's:
Quote
Williams is a patronymic surname derived from the forename William. Its early origins are in medieval England, but the primary source of the surname is from Wales, where most surnames were adopted between about 1500 and 1800. Before surnames were common in Wales people were known by patronyms, such as Owain ap William (Owain son of William). Depending on the region and time period, the surname may or may not have been adopted with a 's' suffixed. Those holding the surname 'William' (without a trailing 's') are likely to originate in parts of Wales with a reduced exposure to English customs.
The prevalence of the name can be explained by the populaces tenancy to name children after English monarchs.
Early renderings include:
Henricus Williames, 1275, Lay subsidy of Worcestershire
Margeria Williames, 1327, Lay subsidy of Worcestershire
Johannes fil. Willelmi, 1379, Poll Tax of Yorkshire

A German, or Dutch surname, which translates to English as 'hare'. Most prevalent in Germany, and most dense in Austria...

Hmm. Apparently not many people have my mom's last name. Not as common as mine. Nowhere near it. We have records on that though. As far back as the 1500s all from England. Probably no one notable. A kings slave lol.

On my dad's side (family name)
We wuz irish kangs and shiet
Like actual kings too, not just the gibs kind.

After we wuz kangs we wuz clerks, scribes, priests and a lot of chroniclers/historians too, so it makes looking back through the family tree pretty easy with all the well kept records.

You get to Maine of Tethba with certainty and then there is a bit of confusion as to whether he was a biological or adopted son of Niall of the Nine Hostages (absolute madman tbh) so it's 50/50 on that but it still traces back to the 4th century thereabouts.

If you look at my mother's side though, you find one of the last people in bongistan who got burned at the stake for witchcraft (ayy lmao)

Lol your last name is O'Niell

Nah

It took a different name-branching somewhere along the line and ended up as this nightmare of a surname - O' Duibhgeannáin. That was about the late 1200s though and it's been simplified a lot since then, the O' prefix was apparently removed after the clan fought for the ''wrong'' side in the english civil war (Royalists did nothing wrong) and so when charles lost they lost the title.

I think my Norwegian half has been living around Asker for the past few centuries. Don't know too much about my German ancestors before they came to America in the 1800's, but I think the one Irishman in my ancestry came from Ulster before coming to America.

Apparently common English name name, bearing no concrete origin.  Scott, earlier Scot, is a surname common among English families in border regions.

Most early recorded appearances of the name refer to proper Englishmen. This contrasts the idea that the name originates from Scotland, or from Scottish immigrants.

I trace my own family history to about the 1600s, but prior to coming to America there's little information.

We were a prominent slaveholding family for 200 years in the southern states.

Mine is of Germanic/Spanish origin from my dad's side. The spanish part is plainly obvious but having something to do with Germanic is pretty cool.

And from my mom's side is not listed.
