Meaning & History

Anglicized form of Gaelic Domnall Bán meaning "DOMNALL the Fair", a nickname of Donald III, King of Scots, the second known son of Duncan I. This was the form used by Shakespeare in his tragic play 'Macbeth' (1606) for a character based on the historical figure, who allegorically represents moral order.
