ArchivesMcDADE-How is the Ireland and Scotland surname connected?
Looking for someone who has researched the subject question.
I know that in Ireland, the McDade's (McDaid) are descended from the High King Naill (abt. 400AD) of the Nine Hostages through Conaill and the Doherty's. Where does the Scotland McDade name originate and how do they connect (if at all)?

According to Black's The Surnames of Scotland, MacDade and MacDaid which are "found mostly in Glasgow are forms of Irish MacDabhéid 'son of Davet', diminutive form of David".
