Yet you still can’t spell Sassenach correctly and believe in “Queen Scota and her son “Ir”.
You are a sad joke.
“We start with the honorific prefixes ~ Mac, Mc”
Mac and Mc mean simply “son of”, you twit.
They’re not “honorific”; they’re -hereditary-.
[the “logic” of Norse surnames must really blow your mind]
Go back to reading your Lucky Charms box.
“Once you know the system you suddenly realize that the appearance of the same name in two places, or a hundred, in different countries, probably doesn’t mean anything more than that you had a bunch of Gaelic speakers who used the same system of nomenclature, and roughly the same language.

“Car or Ker(Kel) or Kerr (Kell) may precede any of the honorifics to denote anything from a “point”, “cove”, “bay”, “swamp”, “county”, “kingdom””
Again, those words are not “honorifics”; they are descriptive _root_ words in place names.

Everybody else seems to be able to do it ~ I suggest you study your Gaelic language group a bit more.

That, however does not mean they entered Britain from the East. The Galician records clearly snow they entered from the South.They dismissed the Galician records as fairy tails. Still, the Irish them selves record an invasion from the South,
