The surname McCartney or MacCartney has its origins in Ireland and is associated with Irish descent. The name is an anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic surname Mac Cartaine, meaning "son of Cartan." Cartan itself is a diminutive form of the personal name Cairt, meaning "loving" or "friendly." The MacCartneys were a sept of the larger Ulster clan of O'Neill, which was one of the most powerful and influential clans in Irish history. The O'Neills were descended from the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages, a High King of Ireland in the 5th century. During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many MacCartneys were displaced from their ancestral lands by Scottish and English settlers. Some members of the clan migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others emigrated to countries like Scotland, England, and further afield. In more recent times, the name McCartney became well-known due to the rise to fame of Sir Paul McCartney, the legendary musician and songwriter, and a member of the iconic band The Beatles. Paul McCartney's family has Irish roots, and his paternal grandfather, James McCartney, was born in Ireland. Overall, the history of the surname McCartney or MacCartney is deeply intertwined with Irish heritage, with a rich ancestral legacy and notable figures who have contributed to various fields.
