Meaning & History
As an Irish name with stress on the first syllable, it is an anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Macdha ‘descendant of Macdha.’
------------------------------
As an Irish and Scottish name with stress on the second syllable, it is a variant of McKay.
------------------------------
It may also be an anglicized form of the Finnish surname Mäki (http://surnames.behindthename.com/submit/name/maki). I posted the link that way because linking to the name in the normal way would link to a Japanese surname in the main database.
