CLAN MACNACHTAN SEPT NAMES AUTHENTICATION

by Ken McNaughton (for CMAW)

Five categories of septs

An alternate name for the name-father. Example: MacDiarmid for Campbell.
A small clan living on lands conquered by larger clan/s.
A small clan moving onto a larger clan's lands seeking protection or providing specific services. Example: MacMhuirichs as hereditary pipers for Clanranald.
Descendant of famous clan member of parent clan commemorating the given name, or nickname of that famous ancestor. Example: Baxter.

The following names have been assembled from a list in The Red Banner for 15 June 2007. There are six columns to the right of the names, one column for each of the six authorities listed at the end. For each name, there is an “x” in the column for every authority that credited the name as part of the McNaughton Clan. The sheet acts as a density graph of authentication—the more x’s, the more the authorities agree.

A seventh column was added in April 2016 for Electric Scotland, which claims to be the largest and most comprehensive website on the history and culture of Scotland and the Scots at home and abroad. Started in 1997, it includes a list of clan septs and dependents compiled by an ex Lord Lyon. There were ten names on the Electric Scotland list that were not shown by any of the six CMAW referees. These ten are the only ones shown here with upper and lower case letters & colored Green; MacAire, MacAnir, MaCarhy, MacCratick, MacKneight, MacNarie, MacNaught, MacNear, MacReachain and Nacten.
