Surnames: Klimas, Klime Submitted by: Franti?ek Klime Origin of Mas, Meaning of Mas Origin: The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs agree that the name MacInnes and all of its variants are of ancient and unique origin. The celtic version is closer to Mac Aonghais. During ancient times the Mac Innes clan followed King Colla from Ireland to Dalriada and established themselves there as one of the original clans to settle that part of Scotland from Ireland. They weathered many hardships but the final straw was the Jacobite Rebellion, which split the clan and led to the Highland Clearances. As a result, the clan has been scattered across the United States and Canada, with some contingents in Australia. The various customs and immigration services of the areas where the Scotsmen settled seem to have corrupted the name many times, leaving a wide variety of variants.

Surnames: MASSARO Submitted by: Rosa Farrace Origin of Mas, Meaning of Mas Origin: There is said to be a family of this name in Wales, of great antiquity, and claiming descent from the ancient kings of Britain. Their authentic history is said to commence with Uryan or Urien Rheged, whose date is in dispute, but who is put by some as early as the sixth century of the Christian era. It is, however, extremely improbable that all persons bearing this name are descended from one Thomas ancestor, or even from a few Thomas ancestors. Mere consideration of the large number of persons of this name would point to such improbability. It is heightened by reflection on the origin of the name and other facts. Surnames in Wales are of rather late origin. Thomas was first a Christian name, before it was used as a surname. It is a Hebrew word, meaning a twin; hence the interpretation in the Gospel of the name of the Apostle, 'Thomas, which is called Didymus;' Didymus, or rather Didymos, is the Greek word of the same meaning. From St. Thomas the Apostle, persons bor! n on the twenty-first of December would probably have sometimes been named Thomas. The name, however, did not become a common one till much later; in fact, till the middle ages. Then the name was often given in honor of England's great archbishop and martyr, St. Thomas, ofHistory of West Virginia Surnames: Thomas Submitted by: History of West Virginia Origin of Mas, Meaning of Mas Origin: The name Tchume (Twum) means "AUTHOR OF WISDOM".
