2640: douglas Mar 10, 2022

The name Douglas is a common last name and first name, which is a typical development of many Celtic surnames. It is, somewhat surprisingly at first glance, related to 'Dublin', and probably doesn't sound very nice either given its meaning in Scots Gaelic (dubh glas) is 'black/dark stream', but this is almost certainly just a topographical description of some marshy area of Scotland.
