Hereditary and non-hereditary aristocrats and gentry for UK and Europe Chat

The Honourable Mungo Hay has an interesting first name.

It's a very Scottish name. I have heard of it before several times among the Scottish aristocracy and upper classes but it was more common fifty years ago than it is now, so may well be a family name.

Some more info

'The name Mungo is a boy's name of Scottish origin meaning "my pet". Mungo is one of the most classic Scottish names but perhaps also among the most difficult names to carry. There is a St. Mungo whose proper name was Kentigern; he is the patron saint of Glasgow.'

Thanks for all the updates on various threads @fawbert

Thanks. I tend to be a bit hit and miss here but will be more dutiful in future. :-)
