Macaulay (surname)
''Macaulay'', ''Macauley'', ''MacAulay'', and ''McAulay'' are surnames in the English language. There are several etymological origins for the names: all of which originated as patronyms in several Gaelic languages—Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Although the English-language surnames are ultimately derived from Gaelic patronyms, the English-language surnames, and the modern Gaelic-language forms do not refer to the actual name of the bearer's father. In the United States of America, the surnames are not very common; according to census data, ''Macaulay'' and ''MacAulay'' (combined) are much more common than ''McAulay''.
==Etymology==
In some cases, the surnames are derived from the Scottish Gaelic ''MacAmhlaidh'', or the Irish Gaelic ''Mac Amhalghaidh''.〔 These Gaelic surnames translate into English as "son of ''Amhalghaidh''"〔, which is a transcription of: 〕 or "son of ''Amhalghadh''".〔, which cited: , for the surname "McCauley".〕 The Gaelic surnames originated as a patronyms, however they no longer refer to the actual names of the bearer's father's. The personal name ''Amhalghaidh'' (also spelt ''Amhalghadh'') is an old Gaelic name whose origin and meaning are uncertain.〔
In other cases, the surnames are derived from the Scottish Gaelic ''MacAmhlaibh'' or ''MacAmhlaidh'',〔 or the Irish Mac Amhlaoibh.〔, which cited: , for the surnames "MacAulay", "McAulay", "McCauley".〕 These surnames translate into English as "son of ''Amhlaibh''"; "son of ''Amhladh''" or "son of ''Amhlaidh''"; and "son of ''Amhlaoibh''". The names ''Amhlaibh'', ''Amhladh'', ''Amhlaidh'', and ''Amhlaoibh'' are Gaelic derivatives of the Old Norse personal names ''Áleifr'' and ''Olaf or Óláfr''.〔
