I was looking through a book of Scottish clans (which are also surnames) and [name_m]Innes[/name_m] / [name_m]Innis[/name_m] stood out to me! It means “from the river island.”

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]

From Wikipedia: This Gaelic surname is derived from the Latin [name_m]Patricius[/name_m], which is in turn derived from word elements meaning “member of the patrician class”. In other cases, the surname [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is a shortened form of the surnames Mulpatrick and [name_m]Fitzpatrick[/name_m]. The surname [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] appears in [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] due to Scottish emigration.
