Auchmuty is a striking, uncommon name — distinctive enough to turn a head — and one that travelled from Scotland into the Irish midlands.
Where does the Auchmuty name come from?
Auchmuty is understood to be a name of Scottish origin, taken from the lands of Auchmuty in Fife. Families of the name settled in Ireland, where they became associated chiefly with the midland counties. It is an uncommon surname on both islands, so its story is best followed through the comparatively few families who carry it — a name that tends to be remembered precisely because it is so rare.
