MacCulloch Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Much obscurity enshrouds the origin of this old Galwegian name, and no satisfactory pedigree of the family exists. They are said to be described in one of their charters as having their origin "ultra memoriam hominum." The name may be Gaelic Mac Cullaich or Mac C(h)ullach, 'son of (the) boar.' The name first appears in 1296 when Thomas Maculagh del counte de Wyggetone rendered homage. His seal bears a squirrel, and S' Thome Maccvli. He appears again in the same year as Juror on inquest at Berwick along with his brother Michal, and is probably the Thomas Makhulagh, sheriff of Wigtown, 1305 (Bain, II, 198,215, 458,550). Michel Maculagh and William Maculaghe also rendered homage (ibid., p. 209,211). Sir Patrick McCoulagh and Gilbert McCoulaghe were charter witnesses in Galloway, 1354 (ibid., III, 1578). Sir Patrick Macologhe had an annuity of 100 marks "in recompense of his sufferings, and loss of his lands in Scotland for his allegiance" to the king of England, 1360 (ibid., IV, 58), and in 1363 as Sir Patrick M'Owlache had restoration of his lands (Stodart, II). Helise Makcoulach was married in 1478 (Sc. Ant., III, p. 105), and Patrick Makcowloch, presbyter and notary of Candidecase, 1480 (Scon, 225), may be Patrick Mackullouch, vicar of Arnbroath, 1482 (RAA., II, 212). Svmon McKowloch of Galloway had a letter of gift, 1500 (RSS., I, 555), and David M'Ulloch of Gutters was one of the Committee of War, August 1643 (APS.). The Maccullochs of Tarrel, Plaids, Kindeace, and Glastulich were followers of the earls of Ross (Northern N. & Q., V, p. 58-62; XII, p. 170-174). The Argyllshire Maccullochs are really Maclulichs, which see.
