De-Anglicisation of Names

[slohairt]

Dia Dhuit, An Albanaigh!

KILLMAN There are a couple of Scottish origins I found for this name:

1) Killman (also Kelman), from the Gaelic Caol Monaidh meaning narrow hill. Pronounced KALE MONEY. This name is located in and around Aberdeen.

2) You could consider the possibility that it's anglicised from Mac Calmain = son of Calman. Pronounced MAC CAL-IM-AWN. Calman means little dove. The "s" at the end of the variant you provided, Killmans, makes me think of this, as the terminal "s" in English often means son of. As for German and Dutch, this could just be a coincidence.

I'm familiar with the history behind Clan Kincaid, but I'm unsure what the name is derived from. Can you help?

Thanks for the great work Slohairt!
It's interesting to know that both sides of my family were tied in with moors! I guess we like our solitude...
