taxes, revenues, and imposts, paying a fixed (Latin firmus) sum
for the proceeds, and only secondarily someone who rented land for the
purpose of cultivation; it was not applied to an owner of cultivated
land before the 17th century.Irish: Anglicized (part
translated) form of Gaelic Mac an Scolóige ‘son of the
husbandman’, a rare surname of northern and western Ireland.
