Mcallister

Meaning of Mcallister

The name Mcallister is a unisex name of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic "Mac Alasdair," meaning "son of Alasdair." Alasdair itself is the Gaelic form of Alexander, which means "defender of the people." Pronounced as muh-KAL-iss-tur (/məˈkælɪstər/), Mcallister exudes a sense of strength and heritage. It has an alternative spelling, Macallister, but both variations share the same roots and pronunciation. Although not commonly used, with sporadic occurrences over the years in the United States—such as 12 newborns being named Mcallister in 2006—it holds a unique charm for parents seeking a distinctive yet historically rich name.
