Livingstone (name)

Livingstone is a surname and given name. The pronunciation of the name is [ liv-ing-stuhn ]. The surname is toponymic. It is one of the habitual surnames eventually adopted by members of the Scottish branch of the Irish Dunleavy (Gaelic language Duinnshleibhe)/MacNulty royals, including the ancestors of the African missionary doctor and African explorer David Livingstone. There may be a relationship between the Livingstones and Clan MacLea. This is a unique name (not in the top 1000 newborn names in the US in 2021).
