McMullin

McMullin is a surname of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic Mac Muillin, meaning "son of Muilleann." The name Muilleann itself is thought to be a diminutive of "muileann," meaning "mill."

Over time, the McMullin family spread beyond Ireland, with significant populations found in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Variations in spelling can occur due to anglicization and regional dialect differences, with some common variations including Mullin, McMullan, and Mullens. Historical records indicate that members of the McMullin family have been involved in various professions and endeavors throughout history. The name continues to be a recognizable surname in numerous countries today.
