Still a popular name throughout County Antrim, the McQuillans are known mostly for their association with Dunluce Castle and for their battles with the Scottish McDonnell clan. Origin of name The name McQuillan is of disputed origin, as the full ancient genealogy of the McQuillan was lost in the 1760s by Ephraim MacQuillan, with two prevailing theories: *The most commonly accepted theory is that they descended from Hugh de Mandeville, a member of the Cambro-Norman de Mandeville dynasty, with McQuillan deriving from ''Mac Uighilín'' meaning son of ''Uighilín'', the Gaelic version of ''Hugelin'', itself the diminutive of Norman name ''Hugh'' (''Aodh'' in modern Irish). *They descend from Fiacha MacUillin, youngest son of Niall of the Nine Hostages.

The MacDonnell's achieved much success in Ireland largely to cultural and familial connections to the Gaelic nobility of Ireland. Today the surname is predominantl ...

The Image Of Irelande - Plate12
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender.
