SHAW There can be three etymological origins for this name: Highland, Lowland, and Norman-Irish. The Highland origin is from Mac an Sidhich (pronounced MAC AN SHEE-HEE) meaning son of the wolf. The Lowland origin is topographical from the Anglo-Saxon Sceaga meaning a small wood or thicket. The Scottish Gaelic transliteration of this name is Seadhgh. The Norman-Irish origin is from Jodoc, a name popular among the Breton retainers of Norman knights. Upon the Gaelicisation of the Normans this name became Seoigh (pronounced SHOYE). This is the same name as Joyce.
CROCKER Occupational meaning maker of pots? A Gaelic phonetic rendering/transliteration would be Croicéir (IRISH) or Crocair (SCOTTISH).
