Subject: RE: Origins: Donal Og (Young Donald)
The names may not be linguistically connected, but Dónal in Irish and Daniel in English (or Hebrew or Aramaic or whatever) are normally versions of each other in Ireland.

I know a couple of people called Donald in Ireland, but their names are consciously Scottish.
