Mccausland Family History
Mccausland Name Meaning
Scottish and northern Irish: probably a variant of MacAuslan which is believed to be an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Ausaláin ‘son of Absolom’ from the name of an early 13th-century cleric. The addition of -d may be due to English speakers’ perception of the devoicing of Gaelic final -n. The surname was taken to Ulster from Scotland in the 17th century.
