nam is the genitive plural of the article.
If this name means, Rock of the Kid
It should be Creag a Mhinn
meann a mas [masculine] noun hence a'
but it is the plural that is meant.

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
