MacLean
Coat of Arms
This name in Gaelic is rendered as ‘Mac Gille Eathain’, ‘son of the servant of St John’. It has also been suggested that there is an alternative derivation from ‘leathan’, meaning ‘broad’ or ‘broad-shouldered’. However they spell their name, the Macleans descend from Gilleathain na Tuaigh, Gillean of the Battle-axe. He may well have been the brother of Fergus Macerc, descended from the royal house.....
