The surname Alister or McAlister has its origins in Irish history and is of Gaelic origin. The name is derived from the Old Irish name MacAlastair, meaning son of Alastair or son of Alexander.

The MacAlister clan is believed to have originated in Scotland and later migrated to Ireland. They settled in the county of Antrim in Northern Ireland, where they became one of the prominent clans in the region. Over time, variations of the name emerged, such as Alister, McAlister, McAllister, and MacAlester.

The MacAlisters were known for their warrior heritage and played significant roles in the conflicts that occurred in Ireland over the centuries. They were often associated with the powerful Scottish MacDonald clan and were considered a part of the larger Clan Donald. The MacAlisters were involved in various battles, including the Battle of Ballycastle in 1584 and the Battle of Boyne in 1690.

During the Scottish and Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries, many MacAlisters emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly North America and Australia, due to economic hardship and political turmoil. As a result, the surname Alister or McAlister can be found among Irish communities in these regions today.

Overall, the history of the Alister or McAlister surname represents the Gaelic heritage of the MacAlister clan, their Scottish origins, and their subsequent settlement and contributions in Ireland.
