Where did the Scottish Maggie family come from? What is the Scottish Maggie family crest and coat of arms? When did the Maggie family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Maggie family history? 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. The origin of rules governing the spelling of names and even words is a very recent innovation. Before that, words and names were spelled according to sound, and, therefore, often appeared under several different spelling variations in a single document. Maggie has been spelled MacGee, MacGhie, MacGhee, Magee and others. First found in Dumfriesshire, where they held a family seat from early times. The family name Maggie first appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
