The surname MacNaughton or MacNaughten has its roots in ancient Ireland. It is derived from the Irish Gaelic name Mac Neachtain, which translates to "son of Neachtain." Neachtain is believed to be a personal name that could have meant "pure" or "clean." This surname is primarily found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Down.
The MacNaughton clan is said to be descended from the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages, who was a powerful High King of Ireland in the 5th century. They were originally a sept of the larger O'Neill dynasty, which was one of the most prominent ruling families in ancient Ireland.
During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many MacNaughton families were displaced from their lands and forced to move to other parts of Ireland or emigrate to other countries, such as Scotland or the United States. As a result, the surname can be found in these places today.
The MacNaughton surname is still relatively rare, but those who bear it can take pride in their rich Irish heritage and ancestral connections to one of the ancient ruling families of Ireland.
