Taggart

Taggart is a Scottish surname meaning "son of the priest," from the Gaelic Mac an t-Sagairt.

It gained wider recognition through the long-running Scottish detective television series of the same name, known for its Glasgow setting and the catchphrase There's been a murder.

The name appears occasionally as a given name or in fiction, notably the railroad executive Dagny Taggart in Ayn Rand's *Atlas Shrugged*.
