Lachlan (name)
Résumé
Lachlan (ˈlæxlən,_ˈlæklən,_ˈlɒklən) is a masculine given name, an Anglicised derivative from Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic.
The name is an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic Lachlann, which is in turn derived from the earlier Gaelic personal name Lochlann.
In the ninth century, the terms Laithlinn / Laithlind (etc.), appear in historical sources as terms denoting the origin of Vikings active in Ireland. The exact meaning behind these terms is uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the terms Lochlann / Lochlainn (etc.) came to replace these earlier terms; and that, by the eleventh century, Lochlann / Lochlainn certainly referred to Norway in historical sources. Whether the terms Lochlann / Lochlainn were originally related to Laithlinn / Laithlind, or merely conflated with them, is unknown. In mediaeval Irish literature, the term Lochlann refers to a vague faraway place: sometimes the Otherworld, and sometimes Scandinavia.
Pet forms of Lachlan include Lachie, Lachy, and Lockie (ˈlɒki ). A feminine form of the name is Lachina. A related form of Lachlan is the Irish Lochlainn. Anglicised forms of this latter name include Laughlin (ˈlɒklɪn,_ˈlɒxlɪn,_ˈlɒflɪn ) and Loughlin (ˈlɒklɪn ). Lochlainn has also been rendered into English as Lawrence. A variant form of Lachlann in Argyll is Lachann, a name influenced by the similarly sounding (though etymologically unrelated) Eachann. Historically, the name Lachlan and its variants were most commonly found in Argyll. The following proverb contains the name Lachlan :
"Mar mhadadh ag ol eanruich ainmean Chlann ‘ll ‘Eathain “Eachann, Lachann.”
or; "Like a hound lapping broth are the names of the Clan Maclean "Eachan, Lachan" "Hector, Lachlan".
The senior branch of Clan Maclean are the Macleans of Duart. This branch was established in the 14th century on the Inner Hebridean Isle of Mull. The first Laird was known as Lachainn Lubanach or "Lachlan the crafty". Of the first fourteen Lairds of Duart, seven were named Lachlan and seven were named Hector.
