Scottish Gaelic Name
A formal Gaelic language name consists of a given name and a surname. First names are either native or nativized (i.e. borrowed and made to fit the Gaelic sound system). Surnames are generally patronymic, i.e. they refer to a historical ancestor. The form of a surname varies according to whether its bearer is male (e.g. "MacDonald") or female (e.g. "MacDonald") though for some surnames the adjectival form of a name such as (adjectival form of MacDonald) can be used for both men and women. However, when used in the female form the first letter is lenited (if possible).
