Per request, here is a set of Scottish names!
Neil
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Scottish, Irish, English
Pronunciation: NEEL (English)
Meaning & History
From the Gaelic (GOLL-ic) name Niall, possibly meaning "champion" or "cloud." This was the given name of a semi-legendary 4th-century Irish king, Niall of the Nine Hostages.
In the early Middle Ages, this name was adopted by Vikings in Ireland in the form of Njal (the "j" would have been pronounced as a "y"). The Viking raiders brought it to England, Scotland, and Scandinavia. The Normans, of Scandinavian origin, made use of it as well. A famous bearer of this name was Neil Armstrong (1930-2012), an American astronaut and the first man to walk on the moon.
Fiona
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Scottish, English
Pronunciation: fee-OH-nǝ
Meaning & History
Feminine form of Fionn, an Irish given name meaning "fair" or "white." The first possible use of Fiona was by Scottish poet James Macpherson in his poem "Fingal" (1762).
[Side Note] When I hear this name, I always think of Dreamworks' Shrek. =]
