Coat of Arms
This name comes from the old Irish Gaelic, ‘cinneidigh’, literary meaning ‘ugly headed’. The family came from Ireland to Celtic Dalriada, now Strathclyde, but are mainly associated with the district of Carrick in Ayrshire. They claimed descent from the Earls of Carrick and kinship to the Bruce family, whom they supported against the Comyns and throughout the War of Independence.
