Stevenson is a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Steven'. It has no chief or lands of its own: the Council of Scottish Clans & Associations and Clan MacTavish's own society both list it among the family names associated with Clan MacTavish of Dunardry in Argyll, the society explaining how the Gaelic surnames MacStibhan and MacStiven passed into Anglo-English forms such as Stevenson and Stephenson. The name is best known today through the lighthouse engineer Robert Stevenson and his grandson, the writer Robert Louis Stevenson.
