McLoughlin
McLoughlin (also MacLoughlin and McLaughlin) is a Gaelic-Irish surname.
==Origins==
The name McLoughlin has both Irish and Scottish origins. In Ireland it derives from old Gaelic words that mean either Viking or devotee, depending on which clan the family comes from. The name originated separately in two different clans who lived in different parts of the country. One of the clans lived in Co Meath. They were known by the old Gaelic name O’Maoilsheachlann which means ‘descendent of Maoilsheachlann’. The other McLoughlin clan in Ireland originated in Co Donegal. They were known as MacLochlann. The meaning of the name was split into three parts; ‘Mac’ which means ‘son of’, ‘Loch’ which means a loch or lake and ‘lann’ which means ‘land’. So the name would roughly mean ‘son of the land and water’.〔http://ireland-calling.com/irish-names-mcloughlin/〕
'Mc' is an English abbreviation of the prefix 'Mac' meaning 'son' (genitive case, 'Mhic', 'son of'; plural, 'Mic', 'sons'). The feminine prefix is 'Ní' or 'Nic', depending on language, dialect and grammatical case (the former more common in Ireland, the latter more common in Scotland).
There are several English and Scots variations of the name, including MacLoughlin, McLaughlin, McCloughlin, etc., in Ireland; and, in Scotland, MacLachlan, McLauchlan, McLauchlin, and so on. ''Mac/Nic Lachlainn'' is the Scots Gaelic spelling of ''Mac/Nic Lochlainn'' (see under the first heading below).
