Scott (name)
Encyclopedia
Scott originated from Scotti (Old English Scot, modern Scottish Gaelic
Sgaothaich).
Scott came from the name of a Gaelic speaking Celtic tribe called the Scoti although there is no clear evidence to the etymology of the word, even if it has Gaelic roots or whether it was first applied to them by outsiders. Nevertheless, the Scoti were originally from County Antrim, Ireland and in the late 4th Century the tribe spread into and conquered the area around Argyle, Bute and Lochaber, Scotland and the name came with them. They called their new kingdom Dalriada. It reached its height under Áedán mac Gabráin (r. 574-608), but its expansion was checked at the Battle of Degsastan in 603 by Æthelfrith of Northumbria. In the following decades Dalriada suffered some serious defeats and by 640 was a client state of Northumbria and ultimately absorbed into the Kingdom of Alba by the Caledonian Picts in the mid 9th century. However, the "Scottish" culture was adopted by the Pictish conquerors and the name stuck. The Latin "Scotus" was commonly applied to people from Ireland in the early middle ages and later to a Gaelic speaking person from Scotland. To enemies of the Scots the name was not always complimentary, meaning for a time "warlike" and for a time "painted savages". The meaning of the name has changed throughout the centuries. Roman era outsiders used the name to mean 'raider' or 'Celt' in a general sense. Within Dalriada, it meant a nobleman of the Scoti, then just a member of the Scoti tribe, then a noble "Scotsman", then someone who was warlike from Scotland, then just a Scotsman. There have been variants of the name. In the Celtic alphabet there is no "c" or double "t", so one cannot spell Scott the same way in Gaelic.
