Surname Origin

Auchincloss is a surname of Scottish origin, derived from an area in Ayrshire known as Auchincloich/Auchinleck^[1], which is Scottish Gaelic for "field of stones", from achadh ("field") and clach ("stone").^[2]

The name Auchincloss was first used by the ancient Strathclyde-Briton people of the Scottish/English Borderlands. The first Auchincloss family lived in the barony of Auchinleck in Ayrshire or from Affleck in Angus.

"Richard of Auchinlec was juror on an inquest held in 1263 before the sheriff of Lanark. Nicholas of Haghenlek mentioned in 1292 is probably Nicol de Achithelege of the county of Are who rendered homage in 1296. Patrick de Aghleke of Lanarkshire who also rendered homage in 1296 appears again as Patrick de Achenlek, juror on inquest at Lanark in 1303, and is probably the Patrick de Auuynlec who witnessed resignation of the lands of Grenryg c. 1311."

From A Genealogical Account of the Principal Families of Ayrshire:

The origin of this family is probably much older than any notice that I have met with of it, as it is not usual, in modern times, for families to stile themselves from their lands, or of That Ilk, unless they can show great antiquity. The earliest notice that I have seen respecting this family, in in a special retour dated Nov. 11, 1617, serving James Aslois heir to his brother Adam Aslois, de eodem, in the pond 5 land of Aslois. From this time down to the beginning of the eighteenth century they are occasionally mentioned in local occurrences; and, if I recollect right, they appear at different times in the list of Commissioners of Supply for the shire of Ayr. In 1702, and again in 1704, Montgomery of Aslois, spelt Sloss, and Asloace, appears in the roll of the Ayrshire Commissioners The family, of Montgomeries of Broomlands, (descended of Eglinton,) ended in an heiress, Janet Montgomery, who married to James Sommerville, the first of the Kennox family in Ayrshire. On November 19, 1725, this lady, with the concurrence of her husband, sold the lands of Assloss to John Glen, merchant in Kilmarnock. Mr. Glen married Juliana, daughter of Provost McTaggart of Irvine, by whom he had two sons, John and William; also a daughter, Margaret, married to John Parker of Barlieth. Mr. Glen disponed the lands of Assloss to his son, John Glen, who dying without issue, in 1795 was succeeded by his brother, William Glen of Assloss, who dying also without issue, in 1801, was succeeded by his nephew, William Parker, now of Assloss, son of the above John Parker of Barlieth. In 1788 he married Agnes, daughter of William Paterson, of Braehead, and has issue.

The lands of Asloss are in the parish of Kilmarnock, lying betwixt the two branches of Kilmarnock water. The mansion is situate about a mile north from the town. It is pleasantly set down on the summit of the shelving banks of the main branch, and though only one story in height, has a very cheerful appearance from amidst its fine plantations.^[3]

"The prefix auchin, by some supposed to be Gaelic, and to mean a field, is, properly, an elevation, and of Gothic origin. Under the Gaelic idea, Auchinleck, contracted into Affleck, a surname derived from the barony of Auchinleck in Ayrshire, is said to signify the field of stones. The barony of the name is an upland flat lying between the valleys of the waters of Ayr and Lugar; and the terminal syllable leck is the Gothich word for dead (as in Lykewake, the watch for the dead), applied in the sense of barren or sterile. The general appearance of Auchinleck is wild and bleak, and formerly it was much more so. In also an Ayrshire name, appears to be the same as Auchincloich, othe Gaelic supposition, a rocky or stony field, but more likely meaning the cleft of a hill, or cliff, the signification of the English word clough, or, in the form of Auchincloss, a high or upland enclosure. The prefix of auchter is applied to high or hilly lands, properly, rising grounds…'"
