Tuach | NB There are several variations in the
spelling of the name Mackenzie, i.e. MacKenzie, McKenzie, Macenzie, McEnzie,
Makenzie, MaKenzie, M'Kenzie, Kenny, Kenney, MacKenny, MacKenney, McKenny,
McKenney, Mackinzie, McKinzie, MacKinney, McKinney &c, they are accepted as
Septs or variations of the Mackenzie Clan name. Often in centuries past it
was the local Monk or Minister who could read and write and who also decided on
the spelling of people's names when entering Baptism, Marriage or Burial
records. So when writing an unfamiliar name it had to be written as it sounded
and misspellings would often occur especially when the informant had a strong
accent. If you are not sure that your name was derived from "Mackenzie" or a
Sept name then please do ask us.
