Does the name McCabe have any relation to the lost Jewish tribe of Maccabbee?

"Mc" is a Scottish prefix (meaning 'from', I believe). The word originally was Gaelic (Irish)-- it means 'a helmet'.
The word Maccabee is a Hebrew word with the root MKB, meaning 'hammer'. I doubt there is any relationship.
