Title

Official Clan Moncreiffe Society of North America - CMSNA

Description

Excerpted from the website:

Moncreiffe is an old Scottish name. The name is derived from the Gaelic words "monadh" meaning a moor or hill pasture and "craoibhe" meaning tree; therefore the name means "the moor of hill-land of the trees." Moncreiffe Hill lies on a peninsula between the Rivers Tay and Earn, 3 miles southeast of Perth. Appropriately, the badge of the clan features an oak tree. According to "Scottish Clans and Family Names," the name is taken from the lands of Moncreiffe which were gifted by Alexander II in 1248 to Sir Matthew Moncreiffe, who also held lands in Strathearn, Fife, and Atholl, and who possibly descended from Duncan I's brother, Maldred.
