Also up till the 1930s mac, Mac and Mc was often M’. I’ve ebooks and paper books where Scottish names are like that. Technically ap as prefix was originally map, the Welsh version of Scottish/Irish mac (son of ). O’ is descendant. See also female forms, nic and ui, I think.

I'd not try and sort Mac and Mc together. Also some names use a space for the prefix (which is more correct historically) and some don't. How do you spell and space a name? The way the holder of it insists.
