Translation Question?

[Ethanintn]

Hello,this if my first post on this forum.I was wondering if any of you could help me by translating a couple of things for me into Scots Gaelic.First of all,can any of you translate the word/name "Walling" into Scots Gaelic?Also can anyone translate "He who forges" into Scots Gaelic.Before I end this post I would like to say that I am a member of the Clan Anderson and have some affiliations with Wallace that I just found out about.

Thank-you and stand sure,

Ethan Walling

Gobha or gobhainn is a smith (blacksmith) "one who forges" in Gaelic. Gow, MacGowan (Mac a´Ghobhainn) are anglicized names based on the Gaelic.

For Walling, would stonemason be close the the meaning of your name? Clachair is "stonemason".
