Lachlann
Lachlan () is a masculine given name, an Anglicised derivative from Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic. Origins The name is an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic ''Lachlann'', which is in turn derived from the earlier Gaelic personal name ''Lochlann''. In the ninth century, the terms '' Laithlinn'' / ''Laithlind'' (etc.), appear in historical sources as terms denoting the origin of Vikings active in Ireland. The exact meaning behind these terms is uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the terms ''Lochlann'' / '' Lochlainn'' (etc.) came to replace these earlier terms; and that, by the eleventh century, ''Lochlann'' / ''Lochlainn'' certainly referred to Norway in historical sources. Whether the terms ''Lochlann'' / ''Lochlainn'' were originally related to ''Laithlinn'' / ''Laithlind'', or merely conflated with them, is unknown. In mediaeval Irish literature, the term ''Lochlann'' refers to a vague faraway place: sometimes the Otherworld, and sometimes Scandinavia. Pet ...
