Name

My name is Molly Maclachlan. It is pronounced: /'mɒli mak'lax.lan/
In the case of my name, Molly is not a diminutive of Mary or any other M-names like it usually is[1], but a name in its own right. It therefore has no real meaning.
Maclachlan is the name of a Scottish clan. It means 'Son of Lachlann'.[2] Lachlann is a Gaelic name deriving from Lochlann[3], which means 'land of lochs', 'loch' being the Scottish term for 'lake'. This name was used to denote people from Scandinavia, or specifically, Norway.[4]
There are many forms of the name 'Maclachlan', with spelling, capitalisation and pronunciation varying greatly. My name is spelt and pronounced only as documented here.
