MacAree Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A variant of Macara, which see. Twelve persons of this name are in the Dunblane Commissariot Record from 1680, and the name was common in Muthill district. The name is believed by some to mean 'son of the king' (Mac a' righ), and in Balquhidder it was sometimes Englished 'King' (Celt. Mon., VIII). John Mcaree in Braco, 1698 (Muthill).

The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

Woulfe gives MacHarry and Maharry among the synonyms of MacAree, but these are recorded by Matheson as having being used synonymously with Garry and MacIlharry, not with Mac Aree. Naturally MacAree appears to be Mac an Riogh, son of the king, and consequently has been changed to King by translation or, if Woulfe is right, I should say by pseudo-translation. This change is recorded from Co. Monaghan and its vicinity, which is the part of the country in which the name Macaree is almost exclusively found. I presume Woulfe had some evidence for his statement that the correct Gaelic form of MacAree is Mae Fhearadhaigh but I am not able to confirm or refute that.
