Lammie Clan History

Lambie and L'Ami are alternate spellings.

"A name that was once well-known as a native name in Angus, though those who bear it today have sought a French origin and spell it L'Ami."

In 1281, Henry Lambi was a character witness in Dundee. Gilbert and John Lamby were members of the St. Andrews inquest in 1302. John Lamby was a witness in Brechin in 1364. David II granted Alexander Lambie a charter of the lands of Bernes in the barony of Crail in Fife.

Liulph Lambie witnessed a wadset in favor of Duthac Carnegy in 1401. In 1527, the King's tenants in Strathdee were 'Thome Lammeis wif' and 'Mariora Lammeis dothyr'.

Andrew Lamby was one of those charged in the 1566 assassination of David Rizzio, an Italian courtier and private secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots, at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Sibella Lambie appears in Wester Futhie in 1613, and Robert Lambie was a maltman in Deanfield in 1772.
