Dia Dhuit, MacWage!
WAGE I wasn't being nasty. I was just pretending to be Pour1Malt for a moment!
Seriously, though. I did some more digging and found this old Irish name: Mac Uais (pronounced MAC OO-ISH). It has been, at times, anglicised to Wage. Uas was a special crown of silver given to bards/poets who were of the level below the ollamh. Using this etymology, it could mean son of the crowned one. Perhaps this is it!
P.S. You might find it humorous that I went to high school in a small town called Clinton here in Ontario!
MAC DHUIBHSHITH Who knows? It's an Irish name as well, though usually anglicised as Mahaffy.
