Where did the Scottish McBryde family come from? What is the Scottish McBryde family crest and coat of arms? When did the McBryde family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the McBryde family history?

As a Scottish name, McBryde is derived from the Gaelic "Mac Gille Brighde," meaning "son of the servant of (St.) Brigit." The Scottish Gaelic word for church "cill Bríghde," became a place name (Kilbride, in Lanarkshire) and some bearers of McBryde may have originally taken their surnames from this.
