Clwyd?
Any possibility McLeod may be derived from a form of the Brythonic Clwyd? I ask, because I am aware that claims to Norse ancestry have been fashionable for many centuries, indeed I know of some that have proven false, and therefore I am sceptical of them.

Traditional genealogies reconsidered
The text says: "Leod's name is represented in Scottish Gaelic as Leòd. This name is a Gaelic form of the Old Norse Ljótr,[12] meaning "ugly".[14]" What doting father is going to give his son the name "ugly"? Fair enough as a nickname, but not a given name. It is clear to me that the name actually means bright/shining ("my little ray of sunshine"). see inter alia https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/LJOT Freuchie (talk) 16:46, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I think you’re right. The Macleod of Lewis crest, arms and mottoes, all seem to be alluding to it as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.255.209.3 (talk) 14:35, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
