This is such an interesting thread. My maternal great grandfather was a Stewart (not likely decended from the famous ones, but was curious?)

STEWART There was a saying from James V, "Aw Stewarts are nae sib tae the king." All Stewarts are not related to the King. There is also the expression used by the Gaels to refer to the House of Stewart, "Cinne nan righ's nan ceard." The race of kings and tinkers. The "official" Gaelic forms of Stewart are Stiùbhart (SCOTTISH GAELIC - pronounced STEW-ART) and Stíobhard (IRISH - pronounced STEE-WARD).
