Meaning & Origins
Anglicized form of Gaelic Domhnall. The final -d of the Anglicized form derives partly from misinterpretation by English speakers of the Gaelic pronunciation, and partly from association with Germanic-origin names such as Ronald. This name is strongly associated with clan Macdonald, the clan of the medieval Lords of the Isles, but is now also widely used by families with no Scottish connections.

English: occupational name for someone who hewed or quarried marl, or a topographic name for someone who lived on a patch of clay soil, from a derivative of Middle English marl (Old French marle, Late Latin margila, from earlier marga, probably of Gaulish origin, with the ending added under the influence of the synonymous argilla).
