Click here to see if your name is among the acknowledged names of Clan Donald. Remember that English translations of Gaelic names has led to a great variety of spellings. The Gaelic spelling for MacDonald is MacDhomnaill, so, thanks to inconsistent translations we now have to deal with MacDonald, Macdonald, McDonald, Mcdonald, Mc Donald, MacDaniel, McDaniel, MacDonell, MacDonnell, McConnell, Donaldson, and so on. But, its all MacDhomnaill!
Remember as well that maternal lines are just as important to Clan Donald as paternal lines. Therefore, if your mother or grandmother was of Clan Donald, then so are you.
