It is included here, however, as a significant illustration of the process by which so many variations appear; even as late as 1898, when this was published. McGhavile appears here on the same basis, though the Gh would probably not have been sounded; making it more akin to the name McOvill: which is in fact recorded in a government document for the Lochaber M’millans. If this version applies, so then may the variants of McHevoul / McHoul / McHowel: though it should not be assumed that these are always M’millans, as the last two also occur as versions of M’coul / M’doul; i.e. M’dowel / M’dougal ** Mackmull / McMoyle etc. could as easily stand for the sons of bald men as for M’millans; while M’vail is claimed by the M’gregors & M’kays as well as the Camerons (amongst whom it may be a version of M’phail). ***Macknilliam / McMilam etc. obviously could be versions of M’william, especially those spelt with the final i. But as variants of M’millian / M’milliam abound; and as versions without the final i (such as McMillam) are clearly in some cases simple misprints of McMillan, it’s quite possible some versions of McMilliam do also stand for M’millan. **** McVolan could be “M’Mhaolain” since mh is pronounced like the English v; but the record of it quoted by Somerled MacMillan actually occurs in a patronymic as vic Wolan (vic / mhic is genitive of mac; while w = v in medieval Scots), and seems in fact to be a misprint of vic Jhohan - i.e. mac John - so genuine sightings are still awaited.
