Guthrie Family History
Guthrie Name Meaning
Scottish: habitational name from a place near Forfar, named in
Gaelic with gaothair ‘windy place’ (a derivative of
gaoth ‘wind’) + the locative suffix -ach.Possibly
an Anglicized form of Scottish Gaelic Mag Uchtre ‘son of
Uchtre’, a personal name of uncertain origin, perhaps akin to
uchtlach ‘child’.Irish: adopted as an English equivalent
of Gaelic Ó Fhlaithimh ‘descendant of Flaitheamh’, a
byname meaning ‘prince’. This is the result of an erroneous
association of the Gaelic name in the form Ó Fhlaithimh
(Fh being silent), with the Gaelic word laithigh ‘mud’,
and of mud with gutters, and an equally erroneous association of the
Scottish surname Guthrie with the word ‘gutter’. Compare
Laffey.
