Occasionally, Potts can also be an occupational name, much like Potter.

Mac Fhilib, means son of Phillip, and is usually Anglicised as MacKillop. I am often leery of sept lists which place names together of differing locale and linguistic origin. Just because they have a similar root (albeit from two different languages) does not mean they are connected.
