Antrim's middle names commemorated his descent in the male line from Lord Mark Kerr, whose wife inherited the Earldom of Antrim. Their son, Hugh Seymour Kerr, succeeded to the Earldom in due course and assumed the surname of McDonnell in 1836. Through William Kerr, 5th Marquess of Lothian, Antrim was also a descendant of Charles Louis, Elector Palatine, and thus in the Jacobite succession to the throne.
