Mckade

Meaning of Mckade

The name Mckade is a modern Anglo-American masculine given name formed from the Gaelic patronymic prefix “Mc-,” meaning “son of,” combined with the element “-Kade,” itself a variant of the Celtic root often associated with strength. Its morphology reflects contemporary naming trends that favor compact, dual-syllable constructions (pronounced muh-KAYD /məˈkeɪd/). Although it remains relatively rare—averaging five to ten bearers per year in Utah from the late 1990s through the 2000s, with ranks typically between 113 and 132—Mckade’s steady presence indicates a niche but stable appeal. Analytically, its structure conveys both a nod to heritage and a sense of individuality, making it a technically sound yet distinctive choice for parents seeking a concise, sonorous masculine name.
