Carmichael

The Carmichael clan takes its name from the lands of Carmichael, located in the county of Lanarkshire in Scotland. The name “Carmichael” is believed to have originated from the combination of the Gaelic words “cairn” (a heap of stones) and “michael” (a personal name), meaning “Michael’s cairn.” The early history of the Carmichael clan is closely associated with the region of Lanarkshire. They held lands in the area and were considered a noble family of Norman origin. The Carmichaels were part of the Scottish nobility and played significant roles in the social and political spheres.
