- Source: McGraw (surname)
McGraw or MacGraw is a surname of Irish and Scottish origin. McGraw has been theorized to be a variant of McCrae, which itself is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Mag Raith, a patronymic arising from the byname Rath, meaning "grace" or "prosperity". Another source suggests that McGraw is a Northern Irish variant of McGrath.
