Mccrae is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of Scottish origin. It is a variant spelling of McCraith or McCray, which derive from the Gaelic 'Mac Rath,' meaning 'son of Rath.' This name has been historically associated with the McCraes of Scotland, a sept of the Clan MacRath who were known for their bravery and valor. The name Mccrae is often considered unique due to its spelling, but it shares roots with more common names like Craig and Ray.
The name McCrae had five instances of being given to newborns in the year 2015 alone, with no other recorded births under this name in any other year, making it quite rare and distinctive during that particular period.
