Mcmeel Vad efternamn betyder
a shortened form of Mac Giolla Michil ‘son of the servant (i.e. devotee) of Saint Michael’ a Fermanagh surname more fully anglicized as McElmeel. Woulfe suggests that McMeel could sometimes be derived simply from Mac Michil ‘son of Michael’. Compare McMichael the usual shortened anglicized form of Mac Gille Michil in Scotland where unlike Ireland the fricative [x] was not weakened. Occasionally McMeel may represent McIlmoyle.
