Maclain

Maclain is regarded as a Scottish name, as many sources believe that Maclain was used as a family name by some families in the ancient Dalriadan clan, located on the west coast of Scotland. The name Maclain is seen as the Anglicized version of Mac Gille Eathain, a Gaelic name, a patronymic name linked to Saint John, meaning 'son of the servant of Saint John'. These sources believe that the clan is a descendant of Eachan Reaganach, who, together with his brother, Lachlan, received the Lochbuie lands in the 14th century from John, the first recorded Lord of the Isles. The Dalriadan clan commonly used the variant MacLain, and they were known for owning lots of lands, including some parts of most islands in Western Hebrides, Scotland. The name MacLain, used by the Dalriadan clan, now has many variants, like MacLean, MacLane, MacClain, MacClaine, and Maclain. Many notable people with the name Maclain or its variants have significantly contributed to the increasing popularity of the name, such as Hector MacLean, Scottish Lord of the Clan MacLean, and Sir John Maclean, who was the first Baronet.
