What rhymes with mccartan?
mccar·tan

McCartan is the Anglicized form of Mac Artáin of Irish origins. The surname denotes the son of Artán, diminutive of the personal name "Art" translating from Irish to English: A God, A Stone, Noble. They are the Lords of Kinelarty, a barony in the County Down of Northern Ireland. Kinelarty was at one point in time historically known as McCartans-Country and also Cineal Foghartaich. The McCartans belong to the Uí Echach Cobo branch resulting from the Dál nAraidi. The McCartans were Ard Rí (High Kings) of Ireland, Kings of Cuib, Princes and Lords of Iveagh holding claim to the longest reigning kingships throughout Irish medieval history. French President Charles de Gaulle is descended from the clan through his great-grandmother Angélique Marié McCartan. Up until the 1600s, the McCartans were prominent and in control of much of mid-Down (County Down). The McCartan strongholds included Drumaroad, the adjoining townlands Loughinisland, Drumnaquoile, Magheratimpany, Ardilea, and the neighbouring town of Ballynahinch. The Barony of Kinelarty, anciently known as Kinelfagarty, derives its name from Cenel Faghartaigh (the race/clan of Faghartagh). Faghartagh, from whose son Artan and grandson Artan Agus M‘C, are descended the Mac Artáin (McCartan). The clan were chiefs of the territories of Kinelarty and Dufferin.
