The surnames McCabe and MacCabe are Scottish and Irish surnames. They are Anglicisations of the Gaelic ''Mac Cába'', a patronymic name meaning "son of ''Cába''". The nickname or personal name ''Cába'' is of uncertain origin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What's in a name? )〕 The surname can be written in modern Scottish Gaelic as ''MacCàba'' and ''MacCaibe''. Patrick Woulfe considered that the surname was possibly derived from a nickname, meaning "a cap", or "hood". Henry Harrison suggested the name was from the Gaelic ''Mac Aba'', meaning "son of the Abbot". If Harrison is to be believed then the surname would have a similar etymology as the surnames ''MacNab'', ''McNab'', which are from the Gaelic ''Mac an Aba'', ''Mac an Abadh''.〔 Bearers of the surname are considered to have settled in Ireland from the Western Isles of Scotland sometime around 1350, employed as gallowglass (mercenary soldiers) to the O'Reillys and O'Rourkes which were the principal septs of Breffny.〔 According a pedigree written by Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh, the MacCabes descend from the MacLeods.〔 In time the MacCabes became a recognised Irish sept, with the chieftain being called "Constable of the two Breffnys". According to MacLysaght in the mid 20th century, statistics then showed that the surname was more numerous in the Breffny area than anywhere else. MacCabe landowners are however more associated with Co Monaghan and Co Cavan; however the principal families of the name lost all their estates after the Battle of Aughrim in 1691. According to a genealogy which purports to date from the 17th century, Alexander MacCabe (''fl.''1689) was a descendant of the last chieftains of the MacCabes. Within the genealogy, his arms are blazoned: ''vert a fesse wavy between three salmons naiant argent''; crest ''a demi-griffon segreant''; motto ''aut vincere aut mori''. In the 1990 United States Census the surname ''McCabe'' was ranked 1,200th most common surname, and ''MacCabe'' was ranked 43,031st.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frequently Occurring First Names and Surnames From the 1990 Census (Name Files) )〕 For the 2000 United States Census neither surname ranked among the top 1,000 most common surnames.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frequently Occurring Surnames From Census 2000 )〕 ==List of persons with the surname McCabe== *Bill McCabe (baseball) (1892–1966), American professional baseball player. *Bryan McCabe (born 1975), Canadian professional hockey player *Charles Caldwell McCabe, American Methodist minister, Bishop, Civil War Chaplain, singer and nationally known religious humorist *Colleen McCabe (born 1952), British fraudster, former headteacher *Dave McCabe, English vocalist and musician *Edward McCabe (disambiguation), ''several people'' *Gerard McCabe (born 1980), Northern Irish actor *Herbert McCabe (1926–2001), Roman Catholic priest *James H.
