Help[Surname] Irish versus Scottish names: Mc vs. Mac
Firstly, I am not sure if my last name is Scottish or Irish. I have heard that Mc's are Irish names whereas Mac's are Scottish.
I have also heard that Mc is nothing more than shortened Mac, as people dropped the 'a' over time.
My family's origins lie in Scotland yet I am not sure about my surname. (It wasn't in the database.)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
