Scottish and northern Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac
Ailpein (Scottish), Mac Ailpín (Irish) ‘son of
Ailpean’, a personal name of uncertain etymology, possibly
derived from alp ‘lump’. The personal name was borne by Pictish
kings, one of whom, Kenneth, son of Ailpín, Ailpean, became the
ruler of the united Picts and Scots and is regarded as the founder of
the somewhat disparate clan of this name.
