The Donnells, by Emma A. Donnell and James Arthur Donnell
For whom the Clan Donald is named.
http://www.erie.net/~skye/thelords.htm
The clan takes it's name from Donald, third Lord of the Isles and grandson of Somerled who lived until 1269. Donald's son was the original "Mac" (meaning "son of").
The Clan derived its generic name from Donald, the grandson of Somerled: and hence the name MacDonald, or son of Donald, Mac, or the Gaelic Mhic, signifying son.
