I decided to do a search of my own name, which is Mairead. It is not Scottish. Wikipedia is incorrect and it has thoroughly confused Scottish Gaelic with Irish Gaelic. Mairead is Irish Gaelic for Margaret. To the best of my knowledge, Morag is the Scottish Gaelic for Margaret, although there may be other translations. Mairhead has made the leap from Ireland to Scotland, true, but the name Mairead originated in Ireland in the Middle Ages. The pronunciation is either MerrAide or MyrrAide. I prefer the former as it is softer.
