Scot Gaelic Names
The Scot Gaels were mostly in Dal Riata until the 8th century, before Gaelic expanded into much of Scotland. Many names from Old Irish could also be used. Related names include Medieval Scottish.
Most bynames were Patronymic, using 'mac' (son) and 'nic' (daughter) with a parent's Personal Name. A few also used 'ua' (grandchild/descendant). Other bynames were also used, and below are a mixture of Bynames including those from clans, location, profession and nicknames.
For more names there is an Fantasy British Character Names generator at Chaos Gen. There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as British Fantasy Names.
