Aitchison is a Scottish〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aitchison Surname Meaning and Distribution ) Retrieved 25 January 2014〕 surname of Scots origin. It derives from the pet name Atkin, which is a diminutive of Adam. Another variant of the name is Acheson. It corresponds to the English name Atkinson, which is particularly common in Northern England. At the time of the British Census of 1881,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aitchison Meaning and Distribution ) Retrieved 25 January 2014〕 the relative frequency of the name Aitcheson was highest in Berwickshire (174.6 times the British average), followed by Haddingtonshire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Peeblesshire, Dumfriesshire, Edinburghshire, Linlithgowshire, Northumberland and Lanarkshire. The Aitchisons are traditionally a mainly Borders and Lowlands family. They are considered to be a sept of Clan Gordon 〔(Alphabetical list of Scottish names associated with clans and families ).〕 In Ireland, the name is common only in Ulster and particularly in counties Antrim and Down. Some Aitchisons are descended from Planters, although the name was recorded in Ireland before that period. Acheson is a variation of the name in Scotland and the Border region, having been originally spelled Atzinson (with the 'z' being pronounced as 'y', as in ''yet'').〔 ==People== * Craigie Mason Aitchison, Lord Aitchison (1882–1941), Scottish politician and judge * * His son Craigie Aitchison (painter) (1926-2009), Scottish painter * James Aitchison (cricketer) (1920–1994), Scottish first class cricketer * James H.
