The only explanation I can offer is the Gaelic Saint Blaan. It is certainly very unusual.

James I had wondered if the name was meant to be Blane. On the OPR it would be that but for the backward loop as per other letter Ds elsewhere Even with that thought I only looked under Gaelic names beginning with B Your idea best so far (from old Irish Blaan) even though Saint Blaan/Blane was a man :) Michael www.mullfamilies.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Beaton" <james_beaton18@hotmail.com> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] McLean=McEachern > The only explanation I can offer is the Gaelic Saint Blaan.
