MACAULAY
Macaulay
Macaulay, MacAulay, and McAulay are surnames in the English language. There are several etymological origins for the names: all of which originated as patronyms in several Gaelic languages—Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Although the English-language surnames are ultimately derived from Gaelic patronyms, the English-language surnames, and the modern Gaelic-language forms do not refer to the actual name of the bearer's father. In the United States of America, the surnames are not very common; according to census data, Macaulay and MacAulay are much more common than McAulay.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Macaulay (surname)
