The surname Hand is of Irish origin and is an Anglicized form of the Old Gaelic name "O'hAinmhire," which is derived from the elements "O," denoting "descendant of," and the personal name Ainmhire. Ainmhire, pronounced as "an-vara," means "great lord" or "prince." This name was a common given name in early Ireland, and those who bore it were part of a Gaelic sept, which was a kinship group that followed a common ancestor. The Hand surname is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in the counties of Monaghan and Louth, where the family was anciently seated, becoming quite influential in the region.
The surname McClave is also of Irish descent and is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Mac Dhaibheid," which means "son of David." The prefix "Mac" denotes "son of," and "Daibheid" is the Gaelic equivalent of David. This name has Scottish origins as well, reflecting the close historical and cultural ties between Scotland and Ireland. The McClave family is believed to have originated in Scotland and migrated to Ulster during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. Families with the McClave surname can typically trace their lineage back to this time, when their ancestors settled in the northern counties of Ireland.
