Pre-1600 Scottish Gaelic Evidence

As yet, no pre-1600 Scottish Gaelic examples of the name have been found.

Pre-1600 Latin Language Evidence

A list of Gaels who were parishioners in Kilmacronak in Muckarne, in the west Highlands, in 1541 included "Mariota fabri".[Ewen, p. 209] But here her name is being recorded in Latin, not Gaelic.

So while this shows that mid-16th century Scottish Gaels were using a name that was recorded in Latin documents as <Mariota>, it does not tell us what the medieval Gaelic form of that name was.
