The surname Kincaid is of Scottish origin, specifically derived from the Gaelic name "MacCoinnich," meaning "son of Coinneach." Coinneach, in turn, is a Scottish Gaelic name derived from the Old Irish name "Cainnech" or "Cennach," which means "handsome" or "comely." The name originated in the region of Stirlingshire in Scotland.
However, there is evidence to suggest that some Kincaid families of Irish descent also adopted this surname. This may have occurred through intermarriage or migration between Ireland and Scotland.
During the medieval period, Scotland and Ireland had close connections, with both nations sharing Gaelic culture and language. Additionally, the Ulster Plantation during the 17th century resulted in some Scottish families settling in Ireland, further contributing to the spread of the Kincaid surname in Irish communities.
It is important to note that while some Kincaid families of Irish descent adopted the surname, it is not one of the most common surnames in Ireland. The majority of individuals with the Kincaid surname can still be traced back to their Scottish origins.
