Hello everyone,

My surname is Hughes.

About a year ago I bought a book on my family name. In the book, it said that the Hughes's could possibly be a Sept of Clan MacKay. The reason behind this is that the surname in Irish is Mac Aiodh and this is the also Scots Gaelic form of MacKay.

Is there anyone from Clan MacKay that can verify that Hughes is a sept of Clan MacKay?

I checked ScotClans.com and it couldn't tell me anything.

Thanks.
