Here is a tidbit of info. Did you know this? (Also, I think Kevin is a pretty popular name, my parents were going to name me that if I was a boy... Smile )

It should be noted that the Scottish Gaels were actually descendants of Gaelic emigrants to Scotland. The word 'Scotus' is Latin for 'Irishman'. Scottish settlers who moved to Ireland (and especially Ulster) may already have been of Gaelic Irish descent.

I'm not much of a history buff, but that is interesting. My father's middle name (Ian) is also Scottish Gaelic... so I guess that could be where my name came from (but I'm pretty sure my mom picked it, and she was part Scottish too).
