****
Surnames have only become fixed in Scotland since the 18th century, so that early members of the clan used many forms and variations. The initial letter ‘Th’ in Gaelic having the value of ‘H’ in English, the name of MacThomais (son of Thomas) and its diminutives MacThom (son of Tom) and MacThomaidh (son of Tommy), came to be pronounced MacHomas, MacHom and MacHommy respectively, which readily explains the variations of the surnames still in use today.
****
The names Thomson and Thomas also occur in other clans, and in such cases adherence should be determined by genealogical and topographical evidence as to what part of Scotland one’s ancestors came from. Those from the following counties in Eastern Scotland – Aberdeenshire, Angus, Fife and Perthshire – are regarded as belonging to the Clan.
