Often in centuries past it was the local Monk or Minister who could read and write and who also decided on the spelling of people’s names when entering Baptism, Marriage or Burial records. So when writing an unfamiliar name it had to be written as it sounded and misspellings would often occur especially when the informant had a strong accent. If you are not sure that your name was derived from “Mackenzie” or a Sept name then please do ask us.
