/mak/, U.S.

/mæk/

Forms: 1500s–1600s Mack, 1600s– Mac, 1900s– mac, 1900s– mack (rare).

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Irish. Partly a borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymons: Irish mac, Scottish Gaelic mac.

Etymology: < Irish mac and Scottish Gaelic mac son (Early Irish macc, cognate with Welsh mab (13th cent.; in Old Welsh as map)), Manx mac.The word occurs as a patronymic prefix in many Scottish and Irish names of Celtic origin, and is thus equivalent to the English suffix -son. This prefix is written also Mc, M^c, Mʽ, e.g. Macdonald, MacDonald, McDonald, M^cDonald, MʽDonald. In English Mac is often used as a nickname for a person whose name begins with this element.

1. A person whose name contains the prefix Mac; gen. a Scotsman. Formerly also (frequently derogatory): †an Irishman of Celtic origin (obsolete). Also attributive. Cf. O' n.⁴
