    The Campbell name comes from old irish "cam-beul" meaning crooked mouthed. I know because I'm descended from them.

    Map of the Scottish Clan lands
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.
