History
Origins of the clan
The origin of the Gordon clan in Scotland was not Gaelic. The Gordon clan is originally from Normandy, where their ancestors are said to have had large possessions. From the great antiquity of the race, many fabulous accounts have been given of the descent of the Gordons. Some derive them from a city of Macedonia, called Gordonia (Close to modern day Gevgelija). The Republic of Macedonia (Република Gevgelija (Гевгелија) is a town with a population of 15685 located in the very southeast of the Republic of Macedonia along the banks of the Vardar River The best description that the Gordons are not Gaelic is described in H. Potter's book, Blood Feud. Although the Gordon family in Scotland rose to become the predominant power in the northeast of Scotland they were not natives to that part or indeed to Scotland, and had a feudal origin. Of Norman descent, they were one of many families welcomed into his kingdom by King David I of Scotland. David I or Dabíd mac Maíl Choluim ( Modern: Daibhidh I mac Chaluim; b By the early twelfth century they had settled in the village and estates of Gordon, near Kelso in the Scottish Borders under the protection of their kinsman, the Earl of Dunbar. " Because the Gordon family did not start as a "clan", it is often referred to as the House of Gordon, a name more tied to its Norman descent. While the family organization in Scotland calls itself the "House of Gordon", most publications use the more common "Clan Gordon" as does the book "Scottish Clan and Family Encyclopedia" considered the authority.
Some Gordons claim to be Clan Gordon while others House of Gordon out of personal preference. While Clan Gordon is certainly the most common term used, both Clan and House are truly synonymous and either term is proper; hence our use of both House of Gordon and Clan Gordon.
Although described variously as Highland Catholic, Lowland Presbyterian, or even Jewish in some cases, the clan or house is rather broadly Episcopalian and varies by individual branches or even persons.
