/ref> Note that ''Mc'' is simply a contraction of ''Mac'', which is also (albeit rarely) truncated to ''M' ''. Thus, ''MacLaughlin'', ''McLaughlin'' and ''M'Laughlin'' are the same Anglicism, the latter two merely contractions of the first. The original surname Mac/Nic Lochlainn was borne by a family of

M(a)cLaughlin is sometimes used as a modern form of ''O'Melaghlin''/''Melaghlin'', which is more commonly modernised ''McLoughlin'', ''M'Loughlin'', and ''O'Loughlin'' (among other spellings).

M(a)cLaughlin and M(a)cLoughlin are rarely English forms of the surname ''ó/ní Lachtna'', a phonetic corruption of the much more common ''Loughney'' or ''M(a)cLoughney''. Unlike Irish surnames that have only one Gaelic source for their English form, it is not possible to tell by the spelling ''McLaughlin'' and other English spellings whether the person bearing the name is descended from the ''Mac/Nic Lochlainn'' family, the ''Ó/Ní M(h)ǽilsheáchlainn'' family, or the ''Ó/Ní Lachtna'' family.
