Clan Agnew is a Scottish clan from Galloway in the Scottish Lowlands. The origin of the name Agnew is disputed, although it is likely to have been Norman, from the Agneaux or Aygnell family in the Barony d'Agneaux. It was said that the Agnews first settled in England becoming the Lords of Larne before coming over to Lochnaw in the mid 14th century.
