MCGIBBON Family History

Recorded in several spelling forms including: MacGibbon, McGibbon, MacKibbon, McKibbon and McKibbin, and sometimes as Gibbon, Gibben and Gibbin, without the prefix Mac or Mc at all, this is a Scottish surname of ancient origins. It derives from the Norman-French name 'Gilbert' itself of Germanic or Anglo-Saxon pre 7th century origins, and it may have been the name of a Norman knight granted lands by the kings of Scotland in the 12th century. What is certain is that Gilbert or Gilbertus in the Latinized spelling, was one of the names introduced firstly into England at the Norman Invasion of 1066, and later into Scotland...
