[Opinions] Tavis and Tavish
in reply to a message by Elemmennope
Tavish comes from Tavis by way of the Scottish Clan MacTamhais, or anglicized phonetically MacTavish. The founder of the Clan MacTamhais was Taus(phonetically Tavis).

I'm not sure if Taus (Tavis) actually translates to Thomas or if that's just the Christian name assigned to the Gaelic name, I know Tammas is the lowland Scot form of Thomas.
