McLane

McLane is a surname of Scottish and Irish origin. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Mac Gille Eathain," meaning "son of the servant of St. John." The name is particularly associated with Clan MacLean, a Highland Scottish clan. Variations of the name include MacLean, McLean, McClain, and other similar forms.

Historically, individuals bearing the McLane name have been found in both Scotland and Ireland, and later, in countries where Scottish and Irish immigrants settled, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name carries a strong connection to Scottish Highland heritage and clan traditions.

The name can also be used as a given name, though this is less common than its use as a surname.
