![Show Contents]() Maggie History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Among the clans of the Scottish/English Borderlands, the Strathclyde Britons were the first to use the name Maggie. It is derived from the Gaelic name Aodh, meaning Hugh, and the word mac, meaning son of. 1 Early Origins of the Maggie familyThe surname Maggie was first found in Dumfriesshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Dhùn Phris), a Southern area, bordering on England that today forms part of the Dumfries and Galloway Council Area. The first on record was Gilmighel Mac Ethe of Dumfries who rendered homage to King Edward I in 1296. "In the following year, as Gille Michel MacGethe, he was thanked by Edward I for putting down evildoers and for other services. Neel McEthe, Gillecryst McEthe, Hoen McEthe, Cuthbert his brother, and all of the lineage of Clenafren, made submission to Edward I in 1298. Michael Macgethe was juror on an inquisition in Annandale, 1304." 2 Early History of the Maggie familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Maggie research.
