The DNA of the Hamilton clan

Clan Hamilton is a Scottish family steeped in tradition, with roots dating back to the 13th century. Known for their political influence and their numerous titles of nobility and honor, the Hamiltons have had a significant impact on Scottish history, politics, and culture. The clan's genealogy and genetic markers have been thoroughly studied over the years, including precise haplogroups of DNA.

The Hamilton clan originated in the Leicestershire region of England. The family moved to Scotland toward the end of the 13th century, where they slowly gained influence. The first known Hamilton to settle in Scotland was Walter fitz Gilbert of Hambledon. He held lands in Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire and was a loyal supporter of Robert the Bruce. Walter was rewarded for his support of the king with the barony of Cadzow in South Lanarkshire, which later became Hamilton. This is the origin of the family name Hamilton.

The Hamiltons continued to enjoy high esteem from the Scottish Crown and were elevated to lords in 1445 and dukes of Hamilton in 1503. In time they also attained other titles of nobility, including Earl of Arran and Marquess of Clydesdale.

The haplogroups of the Hamiltons, taken together with their impressive genealogical history, provide a diverse picture of Scottish aristocracy. Despite this genetic diversity, the Hamiltons have tirelessly maintained their unity and pride, nurturing their identity as a clan with deep, far-reaching roots in Scotland.

Today, Clan Hamilton is spread throughout the world, but with a particularly strong presence in Scotland and Northern Ireland. With their rich heritage and strong genetic roots, Clan Hamilton is an impressive example of the connection between history, genealogy and genetics.

Clan Hamilton belongs to haplogroup I-M170 (subgroup I-Y6615) in the paternal line.
