This surname is of Irish and Scottish origin, and is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic " MacCuindilis ", a patronymic from the personal name " Cuindleas ", of uncertain origin, however, it may refer to a hound. The surname is very well recorded in Ulster; this would indicate that the personal name was introduced into Ireland by the Gallowglasses, who were mercenary soldiers from Scotland, who came to Ulster in 1258.

The family name can also be of German origin; in German, das Ross, means " the steed " or " the horse ", derived from Gaelic meaning " Horse Lord " or " Lord of the Horse " due to the righteous bond between anyone with the surname Ross and their relations to horses specifically when paired with the traditional Irish name Aidan, or Aedan, Ayden, Aiden.

Another meaning for given name Ross falls under "promontory" or "headland".

Tour Scotland video of the Patrick Fraser gravestone on ancestry visit to Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The grave of Patrick Fraser and his wife Margaret Ann Sharp. " Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas, ease after warre, death after life does greatly please " Lord Fraser, born 1819, died 1889, senator of the College of Justice, son of Patrick Fraser, a merchant of Perth, was born at Perth in 1819. He was educated at the Perth grammar school and at the university of St Andrews. Going to Edinburgh he entered the office of William Fraser, clerk to the burgh of Canongate, and he afterwards served in the firm of Todd & Hill, writers to the signet. In 1843 he was called to the bar, and three years later he published The Law of Personal and Domestic Relations, which attracted a great deal of attention among both professional and non-professional readers. He rapidly rose as a lawyer and acquired considerable reputation. He obtained the appointment of counsel for the crown in excise cases, and on Lord Ormidale's promotion to the bench in 1864 he was appointed sheriff of Renfrewshire. In his career at the bar he was engaged in some of the greatest causes of his day, including the Yelverton case and the two famous succession cases of Breadalbane and Udny. In 1871 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the university of Edinburgh, in recognition of the 'historical research, the vigour of thought, and boldness of criticism which characterise his work on personal and domestic relations.' In 1878 he was elected dean of the Faculty of Advocates, and in 1880 he was made a queen's counsel. On the resignation of Lord Gifford he was appointed a lord of session with the title of Lord Fraser, and on 15th of November. in the same year he was appointed lord ordinary in exchequer cases. He steadily discharged his judicial duties, his bar and roll of causes generally being among the most crowded in the outer house. He died suddenly at Gattonside House, near Melrose, on 27 March 1889. He married Miss Sharp, daughter of a Birmingham merchant. She survived him, with a son, Mr. W. G. Fraser, a member of the Scottish bar, and four daughters. Few men of his generation had read so extensively in all departments of Scottish legal literature, and he gave the fruits of his researches in a manner at once clear, concise, and popular.
