Some of the Academy's early reports contain errors that we haven't yet corrected. Please use it with caution.

Greetings,

Here's the information we found on the name "McClellan."

There are many recorded forms of "McClellan." (1)

Based on these forms, we would say that "McClellan" or "McLellan" would be appropriate after 1425 or so. However, "Mc" is generally more rare than "Mac" or "M'" in period Scots records.

Arval Benicoeur and Talan Gwynek contributed to this letter.

We hope this has been helpful. If you need further assistance, please let us know.

In service,
Alan Fairfax
