In Scottish names, is there ANY significance to Mac [space] SurnameCapitalized or MacSurnameCapitalized or Macsurnamenocap? They clearly evolved from the same relationship at some time. Are they merely flukes of a world becoming more writing-centric over time and inventing new rules? Or is there a rhyme or reason for it?
