Some say Irish?

[Jessy11]

Hi,according to the Ancestry website, the name McMillin is indeed Irish.

I quote....

Mcmillin Name Meaning Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Maoilfhinn ‘son of Maoilfhinn’, a personal name meaning ‘fair(-haired) chief’.

Hope this helps 🌸

I would say Scottish Farmer or Jimmy would be the best to ask

I think Tam already replied to this on another post. He said Scottish.

Scotland's coastal mountains and Hebrides islands were known in ancient times as the kingdom of Dalriada. The name McMillin evolved there as a nickname for a bald person; the name may refer to a member of a religious order. The Gaelic forms of the name are Mac Mhaolain or Mac Ghille Mhaoil, both of which mean son of the bald or tonsured one.
