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.
