Kie Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

= Kee, q.v.

Cp. Key.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Contracted from Mac Aedha, 'Aedh’s Son'.

‘Cucail Mac Aedha', a.d. 1098.

'Aedh (ay, pronounced like the ay in say), genitive Aedha, is interpreted by Cormac Mac Cullenan, Colgan, and other writers, to mean fire. . . . This name has been in use in Ireland from the most remote antiquity. ... It was the name of a great many of our ancient kings; and the Irish ecclesiastics named Aedh are almost in­numerable. . . . The usual modernised form of Mac Aedha is Magee, which is correct, or McGee, not so correct, or Mac Kay, which would be correct if it were accentuated on the last syllable, which it generally is not.

The form Kee may possibly be a contraction of Mac Caoch, 'the Dim-sighted (Man's) Son'.

McKie, McKey, McKee, Magee, McGee, McGhie, McGhee, McKay.

None of these names are common in the Isle of Man.
