Name Meaning

Some characteristic forenames: Irish Brendan, Liam, Kieran, Maeve, Seamus, Brigid, Connor, Dermot, Eamon, Fergus, Grainne, James Patrick.

Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Mathghamhna, a patronymic from the byname Mathghamhain literally meaning ‘good calf’, a kenning for ‘bear’. This was the name of two (unrelated) chieftain families in counties Clare (Thomond) and Monaghan (the kingdom of Oriel). See also Mahon 1, and Mahoney . In northern Ireland it is sometimes Anglicized as Matthews , since Matha was the Irish form of the Biblical name (see McMath ). In Scotland Matheson was used to translate both of these surnames.
