Clan Story
Webster is an occupational surname meaning 'weaver' (from Old English 'webbestre'), historically documented across Lowland Scotland and northern England (Yorkshire, Lancashire). It is not a distinct, Lord-Lyon-recognized Highland clan. It is listed as a sept of Clan MacFarlane, but not on the recognized sept list of Clan Gunn, to which it is sometimes informally linked.
As an occupational byname for a weaver, the surname became hereditary in the medieval period. The earliest documented record is John le Webestere in 1275, during the reign of Edward I. The name is chiefly documented in northern England as well as Scotland, without a distinct clan history of its own.
