Not meaning to step on your toes or anything, I just wanted to clarify more specifically the Gaelic origin of MacIntosh/MacKintosh/McIntosh...

I believe the original Gaelic to be Mac an Toiseach, which if you are familiar with any Irish politics, the modern title of their "President" is Toiseach, though I think they pronounce it "TEE shuch" as opposed to the Scots Gaelic "TOSH uch"... Conincidentally, from my Gaelic dictionary, I discovered that toiseach also means beginning or origin! In Kentucke where my Mom's people are from we say MAK-n-tush!
