Sinclairs by mistake?

[John Duguid <john.duguid@snl.co.uk>]

 Alexander Sinclairs book states     

>    The Gaelic form of the name Sinclair is Singlear.  The Sinclairs of
>Argyleshire call themselves Clann-na-Cearda or the Children of the craft or
>trade.  It is probable that the name was given them by their neighbours >would
naturally take for gratned that Singlear meant shingler or >flax-dresser.  The
Sinclairs of Argyll are out-and -out Highlanders. > 

Forgive me for being obtuse but does this mean that argyle Sinclairs may have
no real clain to be descended from the Norman/Scandiavian Sinclairs?

Yours Aye
