The origin of the name derives from the origin of the Scottish Clan MacMillan. The progenitor of the clan was said to be Airbertach, Hebridean prince of the old royal house of Moray. Airbertach had a son named Cormac, who was a bishop, and Cormac's own son Gilchrist, or in Scottish Gaelic, Gaelic, Gille Chriosd, the progenitor of the Clann an Mhaoil, was a religious man like his father. Because of this, Gille Chriosd wore the tonsure, which gave him the nickname Maolan or Gillemaol. As a Columbanus, Columban priest, his head would have been shaved over the front of his head in the style of John the Evangelist, Saint John the Evangelist, rather than at the vertex of his head (the dominant style in Roman Catholicism, The Church of Rome).
