McLumpha Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

MACCLUMPHA, Maclumfa, Maclumpha: Gaelic Mac Gille lomchadha, 'son of the servant of (S.) Imchad.' Imchad was the name of an ancestor of S. Senan of Inis Cathaigh, and another Imchad Uallach (i.e. the proud) was ancestor of S. Cronan of Roscrea. Joneta Makgillumquha had a charter of the lands of Close-rath and Drumdowle in the barony of Clogstoune, sheriffdom of Wigtoun, from her cousin Alexander Fraser, lord of Philorth in 1406 (Illus., IV, p. 642). Fergus M'Lymphquhay witnessed an instrument of sasine of the lands of Mureth (Monreith) in 1483 (Ramage, p. 187). John Maklunfaw, one of the two occupiers of the 40s. lands of Blareboy in the barony of Mureith in 1509 is probably the John Maklumphaire who was convicted of stouthrieff of the wood of Garthlone in 1510 (RMS., II, 3394; Agnew, I, p. 330). The late Dr. Trotter stated (Galloway gossip: Wigtownshire, Bedlington, 1877, p. 66) that the family of McLumfa, from motives of 'gentility,' had changed their name to McClew; and that the old chapel of Killumpha in Kirkmaiden was "dug up to the foundations about fifty years since because it spoiled a comer of a turnip field" (ibid., p. 377). Killumpha in the parish of Kirkmaiden was known in 1545 as Killumquhay-Agnew (RMS., III, 3112) and in 1618 as Kilumpha-Agnew (Retouts, Wigtown, 48,135, 191). The surname M'Cluma, found in Kellistoune, Dumfriesshire, in 1657 (Dumfries) is possibly a variant. McCluufa 1636. In 1684 the forms McClunpha, McKClumpha and McLumpha are recorded (Parish), and also the shortened form Clumphae. See also Maclumfa.
