The MacQueens are of Norse origin, from Sweyn or Swyne which translate to the Gaelic "MacCuine" or "MacShuibhne."

Although more recently regarded as a sept of Clan Chattan, the Clan MacQueen were in the Western Hebrides, and may have been associated with the Clan Donald.

The name MacQueen is found in many forms: Cuinn, Suibne, Sweyn, MacCunn, MacSween, MacSuain and MacSwan.

Clan MacQueen was historically of the Clan Chattan Group
