Origin of the Surname HALLIDAY.
|
|
HALLIDAY.
"Holy-day." It is said this name had its origin in the Slogan,
or war-cry of a Gaelic clan residing in Annandale, who made frequent raids
on the English border. On these occasions they employed the war-cry of
"A holy-day," every day, in their estimation, being holy, that was
spent in ravaging the enemy's country.
