Their name comes from the Gaelic word Mac-Giolla-Uidhir, which literally means son of the pale youth.Medieval translation of Gaelic names could not be referred to as an accurate process. Spelling was not yet standardized, and names in documents from that era are riddled with spelling variations. MacLure has been written as MacClure, MacLure, MacCloor, McLeur, McCloor and others.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Spectemur agendo Motto Translation: Let us be judged by our actions.
