Tartan finder
Type a surname. We search the clan names, their spellings and the associated names on every clan page.
How to read the results
Clan name or spelling variant: the surname is the clan's own name. Associated name: the surname appears in published sept lists for that clan. That is a traditional link, not proof of descent, and one surname can be linked to several clans. Where your family came from is often the deciding clue.
No match does not mean no tartan. We cover 141 clans so far and add more each week. Anyone may also wear a district tartan or a universal one.
