Definition
A Scottish surname meaning 'son of the parson' or 'son of the clergyman.' Also refers to various places and people bearing this name.
Etymology
From Scottish Gaelic 'Mac a' Phearsain,' literally meaning 'son of the parson.' The name originated in the Scottish Highlands and is associated with Clan MacPherson, one of the clans of the Chattan confederation.
Kelly Says
Clan MacPherson's motto is 'Touch not the cat bot a glove,' referring to the clan's wildcat symbol and warning not to provoke them without protection. The name spread globally through Scottish emigration, with many McPhersons becoming prominent in business, politics, and military service worldwide.
