Answer:
A full answer on the
origins of the name 'Walter' and its derivatives (according to Black's Surnames
of Scotland), appears earlier on this page. Individual genealogies may have
ancestors from specific places with a particular name or derivation. However,
this does not mean that all instances of this name originate in the same place.
'Walter' is a Teutonic personal name which has many derivatives. Some names,
such as MacWattie, are Gaelicised versions of Watt, Wattie etc but are not
Gaelic names.
