Clan Hay
Clan Hay is a Scottish clan that has played an important part in the history and politics of Scotland. Members of the clan are to be found in most parts of Scotland and in many other parts of the world. However, the North East of Scotland, i.e. Aberdeenshire (historic), Banffshire, Morayshire and Nairnshire Nairn (boundaries), is the heart of Hay country with other significant concentrations of Hays being found in Perthshire, especially around Perth, in the Scottish Borders, and in Shetland.
==Origin of the name==
The family name is derived from that of several villages called ''La Haye'' in the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, France.〔Black 1946, p.350〕〔Townsend 1970, p.949〕 The word, ''haye'' comes from ''haia'', a hedge, which in modern French is ''haie''.〔 It can also mean "stockade",〔 but it may have been used here because this part of Normandy is characterized by centuries-old interlocking hedgerows (bocage).〔Keegan 1983, p.152〕 The French, ''de la Haye'',〔sometimes written as ''de la Haya'' or ''de la Hay''〕 appears in Latin documents as ''de Haya''.〔〔sometimes as de Haia〕〔Whyte 1996, p.88〕 The name has evolved into English as ''Hay''〔〔 and rendered into Gaelic as ''Garadh''.〔〔〔or Garaidh〕 According to George Fraser Black, the Gaelic form of ''Hay'', ''MacGaradh'', was merely an invention of John Hay Allan, also known as John Sobieski Stuart, author of the dubious ''Vestiarium Scoticum''.
