Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Area family history? The Clan from whom the Area family descends began among the ancient Dalriadan kingdom of the west coast of Scotland. Their name comes from the name Macara, which is the Gaelic word for son of the young, manly one. Historical recordings of the name Area include many spelling variations. They are the result of repeated translations of the name from Gaelic to English and inconsistencies in spelling rules. They include McAree, MacAree, McAra, MacAra, McArra, MacArra, McCarra, MacCarra, McCarry, MacCarry, McCarrie and many more. First found in Perthshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Some of those in Canada originally settled the United States, but went north as United Empire Loyalists in the American War of Independence. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the ancestors of many Scots on both sides of the border begin to recover their collective national heritage through Clan societies and highland games. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Area Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
