The name is presumably derived from [[Proto-Celtic]] *''makajā'' denoting "a plain" (genitive *''makajās'' "of the plain").<ref>[http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/institutes/sassi/spns/ProtoCelt.pdf Proto-Celtic lexicon] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927041947/http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/institutes/sassi/spns/ProtoCelt.pdf |date=27 September 2007 }}</ref> In modern [[Scottish Gaelic]], the etymologically related term ''[[machair]]'' refers to a fertile grassy plain that is maintained by continuous trampling and grazing of livestock.
