Clan Watson is a Scottish clan that is recognised as such by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.[7][8][6] The clan does not currently have a chief recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon.
The name Watson is derived from Watt, a diminutive form of the personal name Walter, with the addition of the patronymic suffix " -son". The name Watson is believed to have been introduced to Scotland in the early 11th century, during the reign of Edward the Confessor.[9][1] However, being wide spread and patronymic, has no single origin.
According to the National Records of Scotland in 2021, Watson is the 19th most common surname in Scotland.[10]
