It is a Scottish name. It first appears in records in the 14th century in the area near Banff in Scotland.

Successive waves of emigration from Scotland through the 1600s and 1700s saw it introduced to what is now the USA and to Australia.

Up until around 1800 it appeared predominantly in the coastal region between Banff, Fraserburgh and Peterhead and their immediate hinterland.
