Exactly. This is a big "DUH" - we've all known this for years. (My mom is a MacDonald.)

And "Somerled" is clearly a Norse name on its face, anyhow. Summer wanderer, or something like that.

Heh, it's funny how well MacDonalds and Macleod's know Scottish/Irish history.

I talked to a lady who married into being a MacDonald while I was cashering. Without making any other comments about my lineage (I saw her ID... being the casheir and all) I stated "If this were 500 years ago, your husband and I would be after each other's heads."

She INSTANTLY knew I was Scottish. She finally guessed I was a Macleod.
