Clan Cunningham

The Clan Cunningham is a Scottish clan that originated in Cunninghame, the northern part of Ayrshire, Scotland.  The name Cunningham derives from the Scottish word ‘Koenig,’ which translates to ‘King;’  ‘ham’ means ‘village.’  The etymology is also tied to the word ‘coineanach,’ which translates to ‘rabbit.’  The Clan’s Crest is marked by a silver unicorn head who adorns a mane and horn of gold.
