MacTier Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Forms of MacIntyre, q.v. Cp. MacAteer.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Contracted from Mac-y-theyir, 'The Car­penter’s Son'.

‘Ciaran Mac-ak-tsair', a.d. 990.

‘The importance attached by the Act, 5 Ed. IV to the bearing of an English surname, soon induced many of the less distinguished Irish families, of the English Pale, and its vicinity, to translate or disguise their Irish names, so as to make them appear English; thus Mac-an-T-saor was altered to Carpenter.' Tear is much commoner in the north of the island than the south.
