===Surnames=== *Alzie – a surname, historically found in [[Renfrewshire]], [[Glasgow]] and [[Lanarkshire]] and possibly an alternate spelling of [[Algie]]. The name fell into disuse in the early nineteenth century; *Cadzow – see placename; *[[Dalziel]] – pronounced ''deeyel'' (IPA {{IPAc-en|d|iː|ˈ|ɛ|l}}) or ''dehyell'', from Gaelic ''Dail Gheal'' ({{IPA|gd|t̪alˈʝal̪ˠ|}}); also spelled Dalyell and Dalzell; *Gilzean – pronounced ''gilain'', a variant of [[Maclean]], from Gaelic ''MacGilleEathain'' ({{IPA|gd|maxkʲɪˈʎe.ɛɲ|}}). However, many now pronounce the 'z', including footballer [[Alan Gilzean]];<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rtu5BAAAQBAJ&q=%22alan+gilzean%22+pronounce&pg=PA21|title=In Search of Alan Gilzean|first=James|last=Morgan|date=17 October 2011|publisher=BackPage Press|via=Google Books|isbn=978-0-9564971-1-6}}</ref> *Malzie – a now defunct surname possibly related to the Dumfries & Galloway placename; *[[McFadzean]] – pronounced ''macfadyen'' (IPA {{IPAc-en|m|ə|k|ˈ|f|ɑː|d|j|ɪ|n}}), scotticised version of the Gaelic surname ''MacPhaidin'' also found, primarily in Ireland, anglicised as ''MacFadden''; *[[Mackenzie (surname)|MacKenzie]] – now pronounced as written, though as late as 1946 George Black recorded the original form pronounced ''makenyie'' (IPA {{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|k|ɛ|ŋ|j|i}}), from the Gaelic ''MacCoinnich'' ({{IPA|gd|maxˈkʰɤɲɪç|}}) as standard;<ref>{{Citation | first = George | last = Black | title = The Surnames of Scotland | year = 1946 | page = 525}}.</ref> *[[Menzies]] – most correctly (for example, by [[Robert Menzies|Sir Robert Menzies]]) pronounced ''mingis'' (IPA {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɪ|ŋ|ɪ|s}}),<ref>{{citation | last = Hanks | first = P | year = 2003 | title = Dictionary of American Family Names | publisher = Oxford University Press}}.</ref> now also pronounced with {{IPAc-en|z}}; *[[Ninian Winzet|Winzet]] – pronounced ''winyet'' (IPA {{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|ɪ|n|j|ə|t}}).
