Carruthers

August 25, 2023

Carruthers, sometimes Caruthers, is a Scottish surname and clan, originating from the lands of Carruthers in Dumfriesshire.

The place name is derived from the Cumbric elements caer ("fort") and Rhydderch (a personal name perhaps meaning "red ruler"), and so meaning "Rhydderch's fort", possibly in reference to Riderch I of Alt Clut.[1][2]

As of 19 August 2019, Dr Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains, 22nd of his line, was confirmed as Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Edinburgh, Scotland. [3]

The family and clan are represented internationally by the Clan Carruthers Society (International)(CCS(I)); its website is www.clancarrutherssociety.org.[4] The Society was founded in January 2017 and is officially recognised by the Chief of Carruthers as representing the worldwide Carruthers family and the home of his clan. It has regional representatives in Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, U.K. and the US. CCS(I) is non-commercial, apolitical and non-partisan and is open to any member of the international Carruthers family and derivatives of that name.

The Society is based in the United Kingdom, but is represented by an international Executive Council made up of senior members from the regions.[5][6]

In Louisiana, Carruthers has evolved into Credeur, a gallicized form of the name;[7] it is a common surname today in the southern part of the state.
