the apocryphal story I heard was the The Leader of the clan was in trouble
during a battle and called out "To Home" - at which many thought he was
intending a retreat rather than a rescue.  Having survived that he then
insisted that his name would be pronounced differently than the place of
residence.  A good story whatever its veracity.
