In 2024 and 2025 the Clan Council of Presidents prepared detailed communications, a process and supporting documents to engage Worldwide Clan members to agree on a settled Clan name.

 

There were differing opinions about modern versions of the name and so the Council unanimously proposed a Gaelic version of the original name, MacDubhsith.

 

This received substantial support from the worldwide Clan and was submitted to the Lord Lyon which he accepted in August 2025.
