Sinopsis:
This pocket dictionary gives the derivations of over Scottish 1000 surnames plus their variants. The alphabetical entries give not only the meaning of each name, but also its history, showing how its form may have changed in the course of time and produced variants over the years and in different localities. The areas of Scotland where the name is chiefly to be found nowadays are listed, and the early bearers of many of the names are mentioned.

• Accurate derivations of over 1000 names, whether occupation names, patronymics, nicknames, or those originating in place names
• Clear, reliable explanations of the meaning of each surname, where known
• Variant forms and spellings included
• The history and modern distribution of many names given
• Alphabetically arranged for easy reference
