Family History:
McClintock is one of the names derived from the families of the ancient Dalriadan clans of Scotland. It is derived from the Gaelic name
Mac Gille Ghionndaig
, commonly MacGilliondaig, which means
son of the servant of St. Finndag
or
son of the fair young man.
S. Findan was founder of the monastery of Clonard in Belfast Ireland. "Fintan, Fintoc (whence later Fionndoc), are diminutives of Finn, later Florin."
Spelling in the medieval era was a highly imprecise process. Translation, particularly from Gaelic to English, was little better. For these reasons, early Scottish names are rife with spelling variations. In various documents McClintock has been spelled MacClintock, MacLintock, MacLinden, MacAlinden and many more.
At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armor encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armor. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but they were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066.
