		MacKenzie is a Scottish surname dating back to the 15th century, the Gaelic meaning of which is 'son of the fair'.

		We may say that the little volumes of ballad chap-books which he collected and bound up before he was a dozen years old suggested the future editor, as the long poem on the Conquest of Grenada, which he is said to have written and burned when he was fifteen, foreshadowed the poet and romancer.
		In the _Bride of Lammermoor_ Ravenswood goes to his death in compliance with the prophecy of Thomas quoted by the superstitious Caleb Balderstone.

		As the submitter does not allow major changes (and changing the language of an element is a major change), we were unable to change the byname to a Gaelic form to meet the submitter's request for authenticity.
