Subject: While many Scottish Christian names are found throughout the Christian world, a great number have distinctively Scottish characteristics - Gaelic names and their 'classical' substitutes, clan names and surnames used as Christian names, male names adapted to feminine use by the addition of -ina or -ena, and a noticeable favouring of French names reflecting the Auld Alliance. Leslie Ann Dunkling, President of The Names Society of Great Britian and leading expert on names, looks at the origins and usage if names in Scotland - and turns the pages of Scottish history to discover what is in a Scottish name.
