Name Meaning
Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Leòid ‘son of Leòd’, a patronymic from a Gaelic form of Old Norse Liótr ‘ugly’, a common personal name in medieval Norway and Iceland.
History: This is the name of a major Scottish Hebridean clan, associated in particular with Dunvegan on the isle of Skye; also, historically, with the island of Lewis. There are two main branches: the McLeods of Harris and Dunvegan (Sìol Tormoid) and the McLeods of Lewis (Sìol Torcaill). Both branches claim descent from a certain Leòd (Norse: Liótr), who lived in the 13th century. — One prominent bearer of this prominent Scottish name, Alexander McLeod (1774–1833), a Reformed Presbyterian clergyman, author, and editor, emigrated to the US in 1792 from the island of Mull in the Hebrides.
