During the medieval period, the MacIvers were prominent in the Scottish Highlands and Isles. They were known for their skills in battle and were often employed as mercenaries. The MacIver clan was also associated with the Macdonalds of Clanranald.
Over time, some MacIvers migrated to Ireland, particularly to the northern counties such as Antrim and Londonderry. They integrated into the local Irish communities while retaining their distinct Scottish heritage.
