Archivesthe meaning of name RUTHVEN
This MALE name comes up in my family ( paternal side ) genealogy frequently.
It appears to be of Scottish derivation.
I assume it is a CAUCASIAN name.
So far have got no help from Gaelic name lists, or Gaelic dictionaries !
The name is pronounced RIVEN (short "i" as in "pink" ).
Several generations have been associated with the Clan McLaren ( central Scotland,
Perthshire ). Clan McLaren is the " Obstinate Clan ".
I would especially like to have the meaning of the name.
Thank you.
