Capital letters in Mc.. names
Publish date: 2024-06-17
'Mc' and 'Mac' mean 'son of' so the original McDonald was 'son of Donald.' Donald remains capitalised as it is the original family name.Therefore, McDonald is the same name as the Scandanavian version Donaldson.
It is merely a different use of the genitive case - 'son of' rather than 'someone's son.'
