Judah Maccabi is the protagonist of the Chanukah story, which took place in 167 BCE. Another transliteration of the name is Maccabee. Doubt he's related to the MacFie's
I agree, Jake; it just sounded sort of cool if you say MacAbee fast. It's kind of like my wife's mom's maiden name - Mikschewitsch. I kid some of her family members that they're a long lost Scottish clan that ended up in Russia - the McShevich clan.
