Background : The Gaelic name for the Clan was MacTamhais (pronounced MacTavis or MacTavish - the "mh" in Gaelic pronounced as the "v" in the word very). Some spellings appear as MacAvis, MacCamis, McCawis, McKavis, McKnavis, M'Ash, MacAnish, and MavTavifh, to give but a few. It seems that from the end of the 1600's, the spelling "MacTavish" and/or "Thom(p)son" were the most common, both spellings (MacTavish and Thomson) often appearing for the same individual(s) within the same historical document. Variations : Cash, MacCash, MacCavish, MacComb, MacLehose, MacTavish, MacThom, MacThomas, Stephen, Stephenson, Steven, Stevenson, Tais, Taws, Tawseon, Thom, Thomas, Thomason, Thompson, Thomson, Tod, Todd.More Info : http://heraldry.celticradio.net/search.php?id=122 Discussion of this family is welcomed.
