It might have originally been something else; spelling errors were very common in the records with foreign names at that time. Or as it is a surname in some parts of the world, a family surname from foreign family. There was a large wave of immigration to Scotland at the end of the 19th century from Europe, so his family or some member of it may have been part of that.
