McGetrick Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
MACKETTRICK, Macetterick, Macketterick, Mackitterick, Mackittrick: Variant forms of the same name all in curent use in Galloway. In Gaelic the name is spelled Mac Shitrig, 'son of Sitric' or 'Sitrig,' from the ON. personal name Sigtryggr, 'true victory.' The name being in the genitive in Gaelic causes the initial S to be lost by aspiration, and the k-sound of c carried over from Mac. The Annals of Ulster under the year 892 record great confusion among the Norsemen under the son of Imhar (= Ivar) and Sichfrith, and three years later is the entry: "Sit-riucc son of Imhar was slain by other Norsemen. ' John M'Kethirryke appears as tenant in 'Villa de Prestoun" in 1376 (RHM., I, p. Ixi). In 1460 the fine of John M'KittricK in Kirkcudbright was remitted (ER., VII, p. 5), and Thomas Makettrik and his heirs had a charter of the lands of Kelauch in Galloway in 1476 (RMS., II, 1256). John Mc Quhitrig witnessed a charter of amortization by Alexander Gillert, rector of Newlands, 1504 (Soltre, p. 325), and Patrick Makketrig in Galloway in 1529 had a respite for his "tressonable intercommonyng with Inglismen" (RSS,, II, 431). Robert M'Quhittroche in Culquha (Kirkcudbright) was a charter witness in 1643 (Laing, 2330), and John MacKit-trick and John Kittrick (without the 'mac') were residents in the parish of Rorgue in 1684 (RPC., 3. ser. IX, p. 567). John M'Whitrock appears in Raentone, 1687 (Kirkcudbright). The name is also current under the form Munkittrick. Some of this name have changed to Ketteridge as 'more genteel' (Trotter). McKitrick 1641.
