Dia Dhuit, Shriner,
MILLER (also Millar): Miller is one of the top ten surnames of Scotland and enormously popular in England as well. Millar seems to be found in higher numbers in Scotland. The meaning is quite obvious: "one who mills." A Gaelic translation would be Mac an Muilleoir (pronounced MAC AN MWILL-YORE) meaning son of the miller.
MORGAN: Morgan is most often Welsh or Scottish. Either way, it is of Celtic origin and means "sea bright" (?) In Welsh, it was originally Ap Morgan meaning son of Morgan. (Ap corresponds to Gaelic mac.) In Scotland, the progenitor of Clan MacKay (Clann Mhic Aoidh) is Morgan, son of Magnus. The clan MacKay is known as Siol Mhorgain meaning the race of Morgan.
