There are some other RSCDS name problems related to this. If you look
at the Gaelic name for Menzies Rant, there is an interesting spelling
error. The RSCDS Book translation comes out the "monastic men" when it
should be "metelurgical men". If you look at the same family, almost
same arms, in England, Manners (Dukes of Rutland, and in France, you
will see that the name comes from miners.
