Due to erroneous Anglicization of the ancient Gaelic language, "McDaniel" actually means "son of Donald". They are known to have held a family seat from very early times in Argyleshire, where earliest records of this fine Scottish surname can be found.

Most likely Scotland or Ireland, it is a celtic name meaning legitimate son of Daniel. Although it probably came to mean "member of the clan McDaniel"
