The plantation of Ulster in the 17th century led to many Scottish people settling in Ireland. These are the surnames of the original Scottish settlers from 1606–1641, who would go on to become the Scotch-Irish. These names can normally be sorted into three different groups according to their origin: Celtic (for example: Agnew, Buchanan, Colquhoun, McDonnell, Morrow, Orr), Norman (for example: Barbour, Burke, Gamble, Granger, Johnston, Martin) and Anglo-Saxon (for example: Wilson, Knox, Cunningham, Fenton, Henderson).
