Donald
The masculine given name Donald is a version of the Scottish Gaelic name ''Domhnall''〔.〕 (and variants ''Dómhnall'', ''Dòmhnall'',〔.〕 ''Domhnull'',〔.〕 and ''Dòmhnull''),〔.〕 historically the standard Anglicization of the name in Scotland. The name is ultimately derived from the Proto-Celtic world elements ''dubno'' ("world") and ''val'' ("rule"). The final -''d'' on ''Donald'' is partly derived from a misinterpretation of the Gaelic pronunciation by English-speakers, and partly associated with the spelling of similar sounding Germanic-language names, such as ''Ronald''. A short form of ''Donald'' is ''Don''. Pet forms of ''Donald'' include ''Donnie'', ''Donny'', and ''Dolly''. The feminine given name ''Donella'' is derived from ''Donald''.〔 ''Donald'' has numerous other Celtic-language cognates: Irish ''Dónal'' (Anglicised as ''Donal'' and ''Donall''),〔.〕 Old Irish ''Domnall'', Welsh ''Dyfnwal'', Old Welsh ''Dumngual'', Cumbric ''Dumngual'', and Common Celtic
*''Dumno-ualos'' ("world-wielder"). Although the feminine given name ''Donna'' is sometimes used as a feminine form of ''Donald'', the names are not etymologically related.〔
