User-submitted Reference

Combich and its variations comes from the Gaelic, 'companion'. The Combich Stewarts accompanied a Stewart lady to Lawers where she married a Cambell. Combich was in use between about 1750 and 1850, when it was replaced by Stewart. I have ancestors who were born McCombichs and later in live reverted to Stewart.
