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.
