Macvicker Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This name, with its variant spellings MacVicar and MacVickar, is fairly numerous throughout Ulster but very rare elsewhere in Ireland. The MacVicars are a sept of two Scottish clans, Campbell and Mac Naughton, and our Irish MacVickers are mostly of this descent. There was also, I believe, in the seventeenth century a small branch of the MacMahons of Oriel called MacAvicear, and in the 1601 Fiants relating to counties Limerick and Kerry we meet the names MacVycare and MacYvicare, but it is unlikely that direct descendants of these people now survive. The Gaelic form is clearly seen in MacAvicear and MacYvicare i.e. Mac a' Bhiocaire (son of the Vicar).
Mac an Bhiocair Though there was a branch of the MacMahons of Oriel so called, MacVickers in Ireland are mostly of Scottish descent. The name is rare outside Ulster. SIF 151
