About The Kidd Ancient Tartan
The name Kidd is of ancient Scottish origin and is most commonly associated with the eastern Lowlands, particularly around Angus and Fife. The surname likely derives from the Old Norse word "kith", meaning a young goat, possibly used originally as a nickname or occupational reference.
While Kidd is not considered a major clan in the traditional Highland sense, it has longstanding roots in Scottish history and is officially recognized as a sept of Clan MacDonald, one of the largest and most powerful Highland clans.
One of the most famous historical figures with this surname is Captain William Kidd, the notorious 17th-century privateer-turned-pirate, whose legend continues to captivate imaginations worldwide. As a recognized sept of Clan MacDonald, those bearing the Kidd name may wear the MacDonald tartan and share in the heritage of that great clan.
