ArchivesRe: Scottish names.
in reply to a message by Kim and Kunk
Hamish is the Anglo spelling of Sheumais, Scottish version of James.
Alpin is the Anglo version of Ailpein which has not obvious Gaelic etymology and is widely assumed to be Pictish.
Mungho should be Mungo (extra letters does not authentic Gaelic make) and Aonghas is simply *modern* Gaelic of Angus (the desire to make the simple complex is widely shared in the Western world) so either seems to fit in nicely.
