EXOTIC SURNAMES Amongst these the first place in order of time belongs to the HIBERNICISED ANGLO-NORMAN NAMES. The Surnames which are neither of Celtic nor of Scandinavian formation, but have been introduced by immigration subsequent to the period of Norse domination. 'After the murder of the Great Earl of Ulster, William de Burgo, the third Earl of that name in 1333, and the consequent lessening of the English power in Ireland, many, if not all the distinguished Anglo-Norman families seated in Connaught and Munster became Hibernicised-Hibernis ipsis Hiberniores-spoke the Irish language, and assumed surnames like those of the Irish, by prefixing Mac to the Christian names of their ancestors. . . . Thus the De Burgos, in Connaught, assumed the name of MACWILLIAM. . . . from these sprang many offsets . . . as the MacGibbons, MacWalters,' Members of these families settled in the Isle of Mann, particularly in the south-western portion, and Contracted their names of MacWalter and MacWilliam into Qualtrough and Quilliam .
