Facts About
Mack
Mack is thought to be relatively modern as far as surnames are concerned. This is because it became a surname a while after surnames became hereditary. It is thought that the surname Mack came about as an abbreviation of any number of the Gaelic surnames that are prefixed with the ‘Mac’ element to denote that they are patronymic, for example MacDougal. As we see with this example, Gaelic patronymic names were prefixed with ‘Mac’ ‘Mc’ or ‘O’, and then followed by the name of an ancestor. When names became hereditary their meanings lost importance, and these longer names could have eventually been abbreviated to simply Mack. |
