Donald
This article is about the given name. For the US president, see Donald Trump. For other uses, see Donald (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Ronald.
Donald is a masculine given name derived from the Gaelic name Dòmhnall.[1] This comes from the Proto-Celtic *Dumno-ualos ("world-ruler" or "world-wielder").[2][3][4] The final -d in Donald is partly derived from a misinterpretation of the Gaelic pronunciation by English speakers, and partly associated with the spelling of similar-sounding Germanic names, such as Ronald.
A short form of Donald is Don, and pet forms of Donald include Donnie and Donny. The feminine given name Donella is derived from Donald.[1]
Donald has cognates in other Celtic languages: Modern IrishDónal (anglicised as Donal and Donall);[5]Scottish GaelicDòmhnall,[6]Domhnull[7] and Dòmhnull;[8]WelshDyfnwal and CumbricDumnagual.
