| General notes | If alternatively *mac- came from *magi(o) 'great' or *magu- 'servant, youngster', see KGP 100, GPN 400f. for the alternation of g and c in Celtic names. Another possibility is to connect it etymologically to PIE *macro- 'meager, lean' > Lat. macer, Gr. μακρός, OHG magar, ON magr. |
